The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 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 June 25, 2019 and October 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 29, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 12–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
