The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2013. The committee held work sessions on February 12, 2013, February 28, 2013 and March 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 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 June 25, 2013, September 5, 2013 and September 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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.
