The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Housing committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2025, with 104 people signed in online: 92 in support, 11 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 23, 2025. The committee met in executive session on September 23, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
