This bill, HB403, aims to allow absentee voting under certain weather conditions. It was introduced by Seth Miller, a Democrat, on January 10, 2025. The bill was referred to the relevant committee and has gone through several stages in the legislative process. As of March 20, 2025, the House decided it was not worth pursuing further, with a voice vote of 03/20/2025. The bill would have affected voters by potentially making it easier for them to vote absentee during adverse weather.

The legislative journey included a public hearing on February 4, 2025, and reports from both the majority and minority committees. The majority committee concluded it was not worth pursuing, while the minority committee suggested it should pass. Despite the minority's recommendation, the bill did not progress past the House's decision to not move forward.

This bill has been fully considered in the House and is currently not moving forward. The decision was made on March 20, 2025, when the House adopted a motion to deem it inexpedient to legislate.
