History
The bill has a recorded history dating back to February 2013 when it was assigned to the House Agriculture & Water Resources Committee, followed by the House Appropriations & Finance Committee. Subsequently, a do pass committee report was adopted on another bill, but soon after, that same bill faced an indefinite postponement in the House. Therefore, the bill appears to have stalled and is considered failed at this stage, as it has not progressed further in the legislative process. As it currently stands, it will not move forward unless reintroduced or resubmitted.
