The Joint Rules of the 118th Legislature provide that if a Committee unanimously votes "Ought Not to Pass" on any bill, there is no further consideration of the bill by the Legislature. Once this vote has been taken, the committee notifies the presiding officers and the bill's sponsor and cosponsors, and this notification appears as a communication on both the Senate and House calendars. The bill is then placed in the legislative files.
