  • House committee: Legislative Administration
  • Subject: Legislature

The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2019 and February 20, 2019. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 26, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 22, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on September 11, 2020. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 9 to 1.
