A bill to allow assisted suicide, HB 254, was introduced on January 8, 2025, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. A public hearing was held on January 29, and an Executive Session was scheduled. On March 20, the House of Representatives voted to table the bill. This means that the bill is likely dead for the year, but lawmakers can still choose to bring it back for a vote.
A similar assisted suicide bill was introduced in 2024. That bill passed the House, but did not get through the Senate after the chamber voted to send the bill for further study.
