The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0180s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0180s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2014. The committee held a work session on April 16, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2014-1494h) was proposed on April 23, 2014; the docket records no vote on it. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 168–115, on a motion by Rep. Carol McGuire. On April 30, 2014 the House adopted “Remove from Table” on a roll call 207–129, on a motion by Rep. Theberge. On April 30, 2014 the House failed “Suspend Rules”, on a motion by Rep. Baldasaro.
