The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 4, 2015 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
