The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Wildlife and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 13, 1996 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 1996 and was referred to the Senate Fish and Game/Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 1996.
