The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 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 2, 1994. The committee held work sessions on March 9, 1994, March 15, 1994, March 23, 1994, March 31, 1994, April 7, 1994, April 21, 1994, April 26, 1994 and April 27, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–1. On May 5, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 1994 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 12, 1994 the Senate adopted “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. W King. On May 12, 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 261 of the session laws. It took effect on June 2, 1994.
