The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Public Protection and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 1994. The committee held work sessions on January 19, 1994, January 26, 1994 and February 1, 1994. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 10–4. On March 10, 1994 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Dykstra. The committee held a work session on October 12, 1994. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 1994 to vote on its recommendation.
