The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2020. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. 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 2020-1015h) by a vote of 11–9, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-1015h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 175–107. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Introduced 06/16/2020, and Laid on Table” on a voice vote. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2020, having been set aside and never taken back up.
