The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2013 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 October 15, 2013 and November 6, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2364h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2364h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
