The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1170s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-1170s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 26, 2026 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2026, with 26 people signed in online: 14 in support and 12 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 7, 2026 the House adopted “Lay SB520 on Table” on a roll call 193–150, on a motion by Rep. Lisa Mazur. The bill died on the table when the session ended on August 19, 2026, having been set aside and never taken back up.
