The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the Senate Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 4, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a division vote, then referred it on to the Senate Fin committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 15, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on April 15, 1993 and was referred to the House Economic Development committee. On April 22, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. A Torr & Trombly. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 1993. On April 29, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for deadlines”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Trombly. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0. On May 11, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. On May 11, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules on deadline”, on a motion by Rep. M Hill & Trombly. On May 11, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. C Brown. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 19–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 20, 1993 the House voted to pass it. On May 25, 1993 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 25, 1993 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 4, 1993 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 9, 1993 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 9, 1993 the Senate 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. It became law without the governor's signature on June 24, 1993, as Chapter 328. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
