The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 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 September 4, 2019, September 17, 2019, October 16, 2019 and October 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–5 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2810h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 9, 2020 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Ley.
