The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 24, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 29, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
