The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 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 met in executive session on November 8, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–6 to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 3, 2018 the House adopted “Lay HB 505 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. T. Wolf.
