The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 14, 2005, October 5, 2005 and October 19, 2005. The committee voted 15–3 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 4, 2006. On January 4, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to regular place on Reg Cal for Jan 18 Without Objection”. On January 18, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 181–138.
