The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2003. The committee held work sessions on February 6, 2003 and March 7, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 11, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to kill it.
