The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 5, 1996. On March 7, 1996 the House adopted “Suspend Rules on deadline”, on a motion by Rep. A Torr & Trombly. On March 13, 1996 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on May 9, 1996, May 30, 1996, June 26, 1996, September 12, 1996 and September 26, 1996. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 16 to 1.
