The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 19, 2006, January 26, 2006, January 30, 2006 and February 7, 2006. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0729h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0729h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 2006 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 127–146. On February 16, 2006 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS”, by a vote of 12 to 5.
