The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee met in executive session on January 26, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 10–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 9, 2017 the House adopted “Special Order to regular calendar on 2/15/2017” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Shurtleff. On February 16, 2017 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a roll call 184–187. On February 16, 2017 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 207–166.
