The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 212–156.
