The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 22, 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 a work session on August 9, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 14, 2007 and November 15, 2007. The committee voted 19–1 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.
