The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 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 25, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 30, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 14, 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.
