The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on March 22, 2005 and October 19, 2005. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House voted to kill it.
