The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2013 and February 14, 2013. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 3, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 3, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2014 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
