HB 127 (1995)

relative to the statement which must be signed by applicants for notary public or justice of the peace.

  • Senate committee: Judiciary

The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 1995 and referred to the House Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 26, 1995 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 7, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 6, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 13, 1995 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on April 24, 1995. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On June 29, 1995 the House voted 133–195 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
