What the record shows ·
He is recorded as the sponsor of H.B. 118 of the 132nd General Assembly, signed November 6, 2017 and effective February 5, 2018. The General Assembly's short title is "Prohibit dismissing tax complaint if fails to identify owner": it bars dismissal of a complaint on one specific ground rather than revising the process as a whole.
