PIERRE — The House State Affairs Committee voted to table House Bill 12‑37, a proposal to require age verification before individuals access certain online application stores or services, at the sponsor's request.
Representative Carrie Weems introduced HB 12‑37 and said an allied organization was supporting a parallel age‑verification bill moving forward, so she asked the committee to table her bill. Representative Overweg moved to table (seconded by Representative Gosh); the committee conducted a roll call and the motion passed with 10 ayes and 3 members excused.
Action: HB 12‑37 was tabled and will not proceed from this committee at this time.
