The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 1995 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 15, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 11, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 23, 1995 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 1995 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
