The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 7–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 9, 2016. On March 10, 2016 the House adopted “Special Order to calendar of 3/23/2016” on a division vote 275–25. On March 23, 2016 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Hinch. The bill died on the table when the session ended on July 27, 2016, having been set aside and never taken back up.
