The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2020. The committee held work sessions on February 7, 2020 and February 21, 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 2020-0980h) by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-0980h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2020 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 129–197, on a motion by Rep. Sylvia. On March 11, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 197–128. 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.
