The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2017. The committee held a work session on February 1, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 22, 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 13, 2017 and September 20, 2017. The committee met in executive session on October 18, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on September 12, 2018 and October 3, 2018. The committee met in executive session on October 3, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 14 to 0.
