The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0807s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0807s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 23, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 240-FN-L to the Next Session, Without Objection”. On March 29, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 240-FN-L to 03/30/2017, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it.

On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on the vote of Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On March 30, 2017 the Senate voted to send it back to committee. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On January 3, 2018 the Senate adopted “Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
