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 12, 1995. The committee held work sessions on January 18, 1995, January 25, 1995, February 2, 1995 and February 7, 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 2, 1995. On March 2, 1995 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1. On March 15, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 23, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 23, 1995 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 23, 1995 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 30, 1995 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 6, 1995 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 6, 1995 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 1995 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 19, 1995, making it Chapter 231 of the session laws. It took effect on August 15, 1995.
