The committee met in executive session on March 9, 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 15–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 234–99.
