The Story

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 September 12, 2007 and September 18, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 13–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
