The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on January 23, 2019 and February 7, 2019. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0093h) by a vote of 11–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0093h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill.
