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 March 6, 2007. The committee held work sessions on March 13, 2007 and March 19, 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 August 28, 2007, September 25, 2007 and September 26, 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 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.
