The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2019 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 29, 2019, September 26, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 31, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2742h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2742h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2020 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 217–150.
