History
The bill, identified as LD 4, was initially discussed in January 2015 and referred to the House Appropriations and Finance Committee. It passed a committee report on February 2, 2015, indicating that it had garnered enough support to proceed, but its progress was halted when action on the bill was postponed indefinitely the same day. As a result, the bill has effectively failed to advance any further in the legislative process. Since it has not passed or moved forward, it will require re-introduction if it is to be considered again in the future.
