The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 6, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. 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. A committee of conference met on May 31, 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 246 of the session laws. It took effect on August 18, 1995.
