The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the House Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 15, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 9, 1995 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 17, 1995, as Chapter 124. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
