The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 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 June 5, 2007, June 26, 2007, August 15, 2007, August 28, 2007, September 5, 2007 and September 11, 2007. The committee met in executive session on October 3, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
