The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2020. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 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 2020-0130h) by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-0130h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 19, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On February 19, 2020 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 133–194, on a motion by Rep. Vose. On February 19, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 197–123. On February 19, 2020 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). 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.
