The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 23, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 112 to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 9, 2017 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Fuller Clark. On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Regina Birdsell. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2018-0009s), offered by Sen. Regina Birdsell, was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2018. The committee held a work session on April 3, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 10, 2018 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 13–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 176–155.
