The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2025, with 3 people signed in online: 2 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0190h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 13, 2025 the House failed “Lay HB 570 on Table” on a roll call 167–207, on a motion by Rep. Grote. The committee's amendment (2025-0190h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 205–168. On March 13, 2025 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 21, 2025. The committee met in executive session on April 1, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. 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 29, 2025. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 23–2 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.
