The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 8, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 15, 1994 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1994. The committee held a work session on March 30, 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 April 28, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 10, 1994 the Senate 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. The governor signed it on June 2, 1994, making it Chapter 258 of the session laws. It took effect on June 2, 1994.
