The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 1995 and referred to the House Corrections and Criminal Justice committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 1995. The committee held a work session on January 25, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 18–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
