    This looks like a word for word reintroduction of 2015-HB-4795 - H-4 that died on the floor of the House about a year ago.


    It provides for court relief from the locals writing ordinances, but they stripped the penalty out of it.

    I'd like to see real consequences for the individuals who choose to ignore preemption.

    In the initial HB-4795 there was a $5000 fine attached (personal), but that got stripped out in committee before it went back to the House.

    So it's toothless now?

    This bill (HR 4616) started out as the toothless version of the 2015 bill (HR 4795) and is worded exactly like the H-4 version that the House let die on the floor 12-2016.

    Yep, this bill is picking up where 4795 left off.

    Does that mean it's DOA when it gets to the House floor?

    That is where 4795 left off.

    I would not say it means that. The bill was just introduced and now it's getting a hearing. No guarantees on how far it will go, but I don't think there is any justification to call it DOA.
