The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 22, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–5 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 2, 2011. On March 2, 2011 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 158–188. On March 2, 2011 the House adopted “Recommit (Rep Welch)” on a division vote 211–138. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 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 a work session on August 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 20, 2011 to vote on its recommendation.

The bill died on the table when the session ended on June 27, 2012, having been set aside and never taken back up.
