The bill was a victim of the crush of work and lack of time that usually plagues the last day of the session.

The bill already had passed the Senate, but stalled in the House of Delegates. The House Economic Matters Committee finally took up the bill at 7 p.m., only to be overwhelmed by 10 complicated amendments.
