The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2011 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 9, 2011 and October 4, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2756h) by a vote of 8–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The minority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study. The committee's amendment (2756h) was rejected on a voice vote on January 11, 2012. On January 11, 2012 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. On January 11, 2012 the House adopted “Refer to Interim Study (Rep Bolster)” on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on October 16, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Legislation in 2013”, by a vote of 12 to 1.
