The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 and March 5, 2015. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 12, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 170–159. On March 12, 2015 the House failed “Reconsider (Rep Hopper)” on a roll call 161–180. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 7, 2015 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 403-FN to 5/14/15, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 14, 2015 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it on a roll call 12–12. On May 14, 2015 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2015, having been set aside and never taken back up.
