The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 10, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 3, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 3, 1994 the Senate adopted “Suspend Rules for 3rd reading”, on a motion by Sen. Delahunty. 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 352 of the session laws. It took effect on June 8, 1994.
