The Story
It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 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 May 23, 2007, June 12, 2007 and September 19, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 7, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–1 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.
