The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Commerce, Small Business, Consumer Affairs and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 1996. The committee held work sessions on January 30, 1996 and February 1, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On February 13, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 1996. The committee held a work session on March 4, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 20, 1996 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 1996. The committee voted unanimously, 3–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On April 16, 1996 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 1996 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 14, 1996, as Chapter 84. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
