The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 10, 1993. On March 10, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/11/1993”. On March 11, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/16/1993”. On March 16, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 27, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 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 May 27, 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 307 of the session laws. It took effect on August 22, 1993.
