The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Children and Family Law 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 March 17, 2015, May 12, 2015, June 2, 2015 and September 16, 2015. The committee met in executive session on September 29, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2001h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–7.
