The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0499s). The committee's amendment (0499s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2013 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 27, 2013 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2013. The committee met in executive session on May 23, 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 a work session on August 7, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–1 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.
