The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2003. On February 20, 2003 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Feb 21 Work Sess” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on February 21, 2003, March 6, 2003, March 13, 2003 and March 18, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 7, 2003, October 6, 2003, October 15, 2003, October 22, 2003, October 29, 2003, November 5, 2003, November 12, 2003 and November 19, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends by a vote of 12–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to study it after the session ends. The committee held a work session on October 6, 2004. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS IN 2005”, by a vote of 12 to 0.
