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 with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 19–1, 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 public hearings on April 7, 1994 and April 27, 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 division vote, then referred it on to the Senate Fin committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 12, 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 18, 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 325 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1994.
