The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 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 a work session on October 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, 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.
