Because the voters aren’t holding their elected officials accountable. People should be following bills like this and voting against politicians that don’t support it. Then holding the ones that said they support it accountable if they don’t follow through (after fully understanding why they didn’t/couldn’t).
People on here call this pandering. Good. Saying that they will do things that benefit society is a good thing. Maybe the problem is with the party that campaigns and the people who give them votes on a platform of hurting society.
Check the news cycle. Something like this pops up every once in a while and nothing ever happens. No one wants this passed, they just wait till we forget about it.
There’s at least 5 representatives that want it passed, as it was proposed and sponsored. The speaker is free to bring any proposal to a vote, but instead it will die in a pile on his desk. Pretty easy to see why nothing happens.
Do you know why it’s not going anywhere? Any guesses?

This is the kind of bill oppositions always propose, but never prioritize once they’re in government.
