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 February 17, 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 kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
