The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 16, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 17, 1994 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 26, 1994 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 5, 1994 the House 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 26, 1994 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 26, 1994 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment () was adopted on May 26, 1994. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (6700) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 9, 1994, making it Chapter 390 of the session laws. It took effect on June 9, 1994.
