With members divided over whether to proceed, the House leadership postponed the session, further delaying a process that had already been scheduled for consideration this week.
Opposition lawmakers argued they need time to examine the content thoroughly, pointing to significant proposed changes such as state policing, local government reforms, and independent candidacy.
