The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 23, 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 August 30, 2017, September 13, 2017 and October 4, 2017. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2017 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 with changes (amendment 2017-2444h) by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2444h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 165–189. On January 3, 2018 the House failed “Lay HB 471 on Table” on a division vote 162–192, on a motion by Rep. Itse. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 200–154.
