The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0557h), by a vote of 13–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 11, 2015 the House adopted “Special Order to end of Regular Calendar (Rep Major)” on a voice vote. On March 12, 2015 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. The bill died on the table when the session ended on November 18, 2015, having been set aside and never taken back up.
