The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2019. The committee held a work session on March 6, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 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 11, 2019 and October 9, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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.
