It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 1995. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 1995, February 8, 1995 and February 16, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 2, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Fish and Game/Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 1995. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 1995 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 18, 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 a voice vote. On May 23, 1995 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. 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.
