The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Municipal and County Government committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On April 27, 2017 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2018-0011s), offered by Sen. Woodburn, was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it with changes. On January 3, 2018 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
