The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Environment and Agriculture committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
