The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 1995 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 26, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 7, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 28, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote.
