The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 1995 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 1995. The committee held work sessions on January 19, 1995, January 31, 1995 and February 14, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0. On March 9, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 15, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Fish and Game/Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 4, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 16, 1995 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 1995 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 6, 1995, as Chapter 183. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
