The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 18, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 19, 1993 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held work sessions on October 6, 1993, October 20, 1993 and November 3, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 3, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 10, 1994 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on March 31, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 8, 1994, making it Chapter 8 of the session laws. It took effect on April 8, 1994.
