The Story
It was introduced on February 4, 1993 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 11–0. On March 17, 1993 the bill was referred to the Legislative Administration committee. The committee held work sessions on April 6, 1993 and October 20, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0. On January 6, 1994 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 10, 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 pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 28, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 10, 1994, as Chapter 97. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
