The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2018. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2018 and February 21, 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 pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0799h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0770h) by a vote of 11–8, 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. The committee's amendment (2018-0770h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-0913h), offered by Rep. Williams, was rejected on a division vote 135–163 on March 15, 2018. On March 15, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
