The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1993. The committee held work sessions on February 16, 1993 and March 1, 1993. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 1993. The committee held a work session on March 8, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0. On March 18, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 284–66, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. On March 18, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Cowenhoven. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 9–3. On March 25, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for report”, on a motion by Rep. A Torr & Trombly. On March 25, 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 30, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–3. 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 April 29, 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 agree to the other chamber's changes 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 (3094) 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. It became law without the governor's signature on July 3, 1993, as Chapter 353. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
