The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2013 and March 5, 2013. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 25, 2013, October 16, 2013 and October 30, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, 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.
