A motion to remove House File 2133 from the table was offered on the floor and put to a roll call, but it failed on a tie.
Representative Niska moved that House File 2133 be taken from the table and asked for a roll call. Representative Law spoke against the motion, characterizing the attempt as "shenanigans" and saying it had not been agreed to by that member’s caucus. The clerk conducted the roll call, including calling the names of members participating remotely. The roll closed with 67 ayes and 67 nays, and the presiding officer announced that the motion did not prevail.
No further floor action on HF2133 was recorded during this sitting. The House then moved on to other business and later recessed to the call of the speaker.
