The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the House Commerce, Small Business and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1993. The committee held a work session on March 2, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, 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 on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 8, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 9, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held public hearings on April 28, 1993 and May 17, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 19, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 25, 1993 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 25, 1993 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 1, 1993 and 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. An enrolled bill amendment () was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 1993. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 9, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3123) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 July 1, 1993, making it Chapter 344 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1993.
