The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Commerce, Small Business and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–1. On March 3, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 29, 1993 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 1993 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 3, 1993 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 8, 1993 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 9, 1993 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 17, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 23, 1993, making it Chapter 301 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1994.
