The Story

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 25, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 1995 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 1995 and was referred to the Senate Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 9, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
