The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2020. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–8 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2020-1034h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 12, 2020 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 132–188, on a motion by Rep. Horn. The committee's amendment (2020-1034h) 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 roll call 197–114. 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.
