The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 3, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0. On April 8, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 04/13/1993” on a voice vote. On April 13, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 15, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 13, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 10, 1993, as Chapter 230. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
