With the departure of Wayne Smith, the future of H.B. 4 is in doubt. Wayne was essentially the ticket to re-voting on the bill. He changed his vote to “no” with the intention of invoking a rule that allows anyone on the prevailing side to call a “do over” and ask for a re-vote in the next 3 legislative days. That would have been March 13 and 14. One has to wonder what was so urgent that he had to get out with just 2 weeks to go on that commitment. I suppose that the losing party will have to start twisting arms to get another H.B. 4 “no” voter to make a motion for a re-vote. For an excellent rundown of H.B. 4 check out this FSP page.
