The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 1996. The committee held work sessions on January 31, 1996, February 5, 1996, February 13, 1996 and February 22, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 12–0, 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 roll call 249–67. The committee held work sessions on August 7, 1996, August 21, 1996, September 5, 1996, October 9, 1996 and October 24, 1996.
