The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 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 10, 2019 and October 23, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 23, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 15, 2020. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 7 to 4.
