The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 1994. The committee held work sessions on February 3, 1994 and March 1, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 8–3. On March 16, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 10, 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 19, 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 351 of the session laws. It took effect on August 7, 1994.
