The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 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. The committee held work sessions on June 30, 2015, August 26, 2015, October 6, 2015 and October 15, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 15, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 7, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
