The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Municipal and County Government committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 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 February 6, 2014. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
