The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 16, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Fin committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 1993. 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 Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held public hearings on April 22, 1993 and April 27, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On May 4, 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 May 11, 1993. On May 11, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules on deadline”, on a motion by Rep. M Hill & Trombly. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 18–2. On May 20, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 3, 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 roll call 249–71. 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 329. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
