The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 28, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 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 a work session on September 11, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2343h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 8, 2014 the House adopted “Special order for 1/15/14” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Shurtleff. On January 15, 2014 the House voted to adopt it on a voice vote. On January 15, 2014 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 97–250. On January 15, 2014 the House voted to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a division vote 214–135, on a motion by Rep. Winters.
