The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2016. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 11–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 4, 2016 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Hoell. The bill died on the table when the session ended on July 27, 2016, having been set aside and never taken back up.
