The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2007, February 20, 2007 and March 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 14, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on August 14, 2007, August 29, 2007, September 12, 2007 and September 26, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 and November 13, 2007. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. A floor amendment (2451h) was rejected on a roll call 107–216 on January 23, 2008. On January 23, 2008 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 168–156. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 24, 2008, having been set aside and never taken back up.
