The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2019. The committee held a work session on February 7, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0404h) by a vote of 12–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0404h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 28, 2019, changing the text of the bill.
