IIRC, the guy who originally introduced the bill - Perry? - pulled the bill from consideration. He's been introducing that bill every year since 2015 and I read somewhere that he pulled it because it was causing such a problem with "conspiracy theorists" due to the current situation.
It looks like it was referred to the Health committee in January of 2021 - a year ago - and nothing happened with it until Perry withdrew it this past December.
Geez, NY has a whole bonanza of bills on the table - I hope you can stop them.
Thanks so much for enhancing this info! I've been finding precious little on this whole thing on NY's bill this week and have been looking for 2 days trying to find out what happened. Appreciate your quick addition!
I'm glad you didn't take my response as downplaying the intent of or supporting the bill. I was merely "reassuring" you that that bill HAS been withdrawn - but NY still has a lot of other nasties on the table.
We need to focus a lot more on legislation in EVERY state. They are trying to push so much crap through. One of my biggest gripes is our legislative/legal system. We need one bill/one issue - not thousand-page long tomes that sneak all kinds of unrelated crap in. And we need laws written in a way that every American can understand - We shouldn't need attorneys to interpret them for us.
Totally agree. I've been intensely watching TX Gov. Greg Abbott's executive orders and TX state legislation and I see all the GIANT loopholes in it so that they end up really having no effect (which seems to be what he wants). Same with the big whoop about sending National Guard to the TX southern border (after letting in millions of illegals for the past year). That's all for show - the NG's rules of engagement don't enable them to stop a damn thing.
Abbott is a RINO and it makes me sick that Trump endorsed him because that means nobody else even has a chance to win the Republican primary for TX Governor now.

Irrelevant because its been explained before that NGOs write these bills, and the powers these bills afford can and would be misused.
Him trying over and over again doesn't change the nature or intent of the bill.
In fact it shows why defeating these bills once is insufficient, and how the public officials involved need to be afraid to even suggest these sort of bills.
I like the way you think, GetCynical:

EXACTLY - NGOs are running every state legislature and Congress - the NGOs need to NGGO
I wasn't downplaying the bill - We all know how they do their dirty work.

YES. For example, that election bill - HR1/S1 - it's getting attention now, but that thing has been introduced for several years, as well.

We need a bill that says once a law is dead its dead.
