The committee met in executive session on February 6, 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 met in executive session on November 6, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
