As the Legislature’s website notes “No further action taken. Failed to pass House”
Just as we thought something positive might come out of the Conference Committee, apparently everyone dug in their heels, insisted on their version of the bill, came to an impasse that couldn’t be resolved, and left the bill without their approval in any form.
Thus ends HB 181‘s circuitous journey. Close to the finish line, but not quite across it, the victim of too many amendments attempting to improve it, but with a number of legislators vowing to be back with a similar bill next year.
One incremental step forward, as the bill banning the use of hand held devices in work zones did pass.
