The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government 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 Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 3, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 3, 1994 the Senate adopted “Suspend Rules for 3rd reading”, on a motion by Sen.
