The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2025, with 24 people signed in online: 10 in support and 14 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 12, 2025 and March 19, 2025. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 8, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee met in executive session on October 8, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
