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 22, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 13, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 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 14, 2007 and September 5, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 and November 13, 2007. The committee voted 13–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 23, 2008 the House adopted “Recommit (Rep Irwin)” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on February 19, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House kill it.
