The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2026, with 141 people signed in online: 137 in support and 4 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended, on a tied vote of 10–10, which carries no majority, that the House make no recommendation, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2026-0761h), offered by Rep. Kelley Potenza, was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2026 the House failed “Lay HR35 on Table” on a roll call 153–166, on a motion by Rep. Thomas Cormen. On March 5, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 169–152.
