This bill did not become law.

Last updated 2026-06-19 8:38 pm
Summary:

Allows family members of homicide victims to seek an evidentiary hearing in cases where the Department of Justice does not file charges or does not seek retrial following a hung jury.

The Senate rewrote the bill to instead establish a committee to study options for information for family members of intentional homicide victims where the Department of Justice does not file charges in a case.

The House amended the bill to also ban state involvement in refugee resettlement (similar to HB 1706) and remove Hepatitis B from required childhood vaccines (similar to HB 1719).
