The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 9–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 13, 2014 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 181–97, on a motion by Rep. Vaillancourt. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 17, 2014, having been set aside and never taken back up.
