The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 13–5, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 10, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
