The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study for 2/6 Reg by a vote of 11–5. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. On February 6, 2008 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Regular Place on Regular Calendar on 2/13” on a voice vote. On February 13, 2008 the House failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a roll call 127–117. On February 13, 2008 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 203–41. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 24, 2008, having been set aside and never taken back up.
