The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 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 22, 2017 and September 14, 2017. The committee met in executive session on November 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–6 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 failed “Lay HB 631 on Table” on a division vote 158–182, on a motion by Rep. Mark Proulx. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on September 12, 2018. The committee met in executive session on October 23, 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 12 to 1.
