The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Public Works committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 27, 1994 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 10, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 24, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it on a division vote, then referred it on to the Senate Fin committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 12, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 17, 1994 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 17, 1994 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 18, 1994 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 24, 1994 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 26, 1994 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 1994, making it Chapter 317 of the session laws. It took effect on August 7, 1994.
