The Story
On February 4, 2016 the bill was referred to the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 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. Joe Sweeney. The bill died on the table when the session ended on July 27, 2016, having been set aside and never taken back up.
