The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0075h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0075h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 30, 2015 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a roll call 24–0, but its third reading was left pending. On April 30, 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.
