LOL. It's a bluff and always has been.

Apparently, the committee voted 12-7 Not Recommended for Future Legislation. (I was close, I forgot the word Future.)

Eh.... there's a grain of truth there, but no. The House voted to dispose of the bill with a vote of Interim Study. They returned it to the Committee, for study, along with other bills. The committee studied them over the summer/fall, and on the 18th will go into Executive Session to vote on what those reports are, which will appear in the House Calendar at some point so everyone knows how they turned out. It's usually (IIRC) Recommended for Future Legislation or Not Recommended for Legislation. (It's been years since I served in the House, don't remember the exact verbiage and am not going to look it up.)

The bill is dead - the committee could unanimously vote that it was the most spectacularly awesome idea since sliced bread, and nothing could happen with it. The House and Senate won't be back in session to take action, there are deadlines for actions which are long past. The House politely sent it back to the committee to die.

That bill isn't coming through the pipeline; it went to Interim Study; a nice way of killing it.

But the sponsors could reintroduce it for the 2023 session.
