The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 31, 2005, June 21, 2005, September 13, 2005 and November 9, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, 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 pass it with changes on a division vote 187–126. On January 18, 2006 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2006. The committee held work sessions on February 23, 2006, March 7, 2006 and March 15, 2006. The committee voted 11–3 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 22, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
