All legislation from a previous session dies automatically upon the demise of that session unless the provisions of Article III, Section 3 of the rules is invoked to keep a bill in play.
These provisions, popularly known as the Expired Legislation provisions, in essence require that you make it known within 72 hours of the beginning of the session if you intend to pick up old legislation that is yet to come to a vote. If you don't do this within 72 hours then the legislation "shall be removed from the Senate agenda"
You didn't try to reintroduce and therefore the Senate rules explicitly forbid you to reintroduce the legislation in this manner.
