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 January 31, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 1996 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 1996. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it.
