The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 and March 2, 2016. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0869h) by a vote of 9–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0869h) was adopted on a division vote 156–155 on March 9, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2016 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 148–151. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 165–135.
