The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2015 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2015. The committee held a work session on February 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0066h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0066h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 11, 2015. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 254–85. On March 11, 2015 the House adopted “Request opinion of Justices (Rep Hoelzel)” on a division vote 190–148. The bill died on the table when the session ended on November 18, 2015, having been set aside and never taken back up.
