The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 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 11–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 6, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. On March 15, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65; extending deadline for action to 3/22/2018 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2018-1007h), offered by Rep. J. Belanger, was adopted on a roll call 202–131 on March 21, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2018 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 138–194. On March 21, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
