The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held public hearings on February 3, 2011 and February 17, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 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 April 28, 2011, May 31, 2011 and September 27, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 11, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2685h), by a vote of 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 11, 2012 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
