text: Realistically, tho, at this point there is no political chance for the bill to move forward.  Rep. Bellatti may not have the votes in committee to pass the bill and to vote at this point would affirmatively kill it, requiring the bill to be reintroduced next year.  Technically, this bill can be revived by her next session.  Even if she had the votes, she may have killed the bill at the behest of House leadership, including the publicity averse Rep. Nishimoto.
  
  In decades if experience, I can say it's very unusual to see a bill with this profile and support get killed at this point by one person.  Typically, it would go into Conference and live to fight another day, or die.  Dying as it did just one week after the Speaker unabashedly admitted in response to questions about the "reassignment" of Rep. McKelvey that "We're always secretive. It's part of being a legislator.", it's no wonder that people think that the bill died as the result of foul play.
