The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 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 18, 2007, September 27, 2007 and October 9, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 16, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
