The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–4. On March 12, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 21, 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 October 29, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 18–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to kill it.
