The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 1996.

The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 5, 1996. On March 7, 1996 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on May 2, 1996, May 14, 1996, October 1, 1996 and October 23, 1996.
