The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2019. The committee held a work session on February 13, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 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 June 10, 2019, September 24, 2019, October 1, 2019, October 23, 2019 and October 29, 2019. The committee met in executive session on November 6, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2831h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 9, 2020 the House voted to lay it on the table on a roll call 187–172, on a motion by Rep. Backus.
