The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0633h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 19, 2014 the House adopted “Special Order to 3-20-2014” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Billie Butler. The committee's amendment (2014-0633h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 173–118. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
