Where it stands
Senate: LAID ON TABLE
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
House committees sometimes retain a bill to keep working on it, and sometimes as a quiet way to end it.
A retained bill stays with the committee into the second year of the term. Sometimes that means more work is planned, and sometimes it is a quiet ending.
A tabled bill can be taken back up later, but dies at the end of the session if it is not.
