The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2017 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 a work session on October 3, 2017. The committee met in executive session on October 24, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 8–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
