I could be wrong but I thought a bill passed in the previous session could not be voted on by the Senate, that the new House would have to vote on that again. Maybe I’m not expressing this clearly. But iow a bill passed by the previous House session is basically dead.
Hopefully someone who knows more will correct or affirm this.

Confirmed. Bills die when not approved before that Congress ends. However, the Senate could take that bill and introduce it as a new bill. House would have to approve it.

Turtle could have implemented the nuclear option and passed the bill back then-assuming that Pubbies would vote for it.
