The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 1994. The committee held a work session on March 1, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 15, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 21, 1994 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 21, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 10, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 1994 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 1, 1994, as Chapter 245. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
