The Story

The committee held a public hearing on May 5, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year.

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 adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal of Feb 1, Without Objection”. On February 1, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal of Feb 2, Without Objection”. On February 2, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 169–137. On February 2, 2006 the House adopted “Reconsideration per Rep. Bettencourt”. On February 2, 2006 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
