The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on February 3, 2015, February 9, 2015 and February 17, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year.
