The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. 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 retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 6, 2017, September 12, 2017 and September 26, 2017. The committee met in executive session on September 29, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 7–5, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 189–143.
