The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Corrections and Criminal Justice committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 1996. The committee held a work session on February 7, 1996. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 1996. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 1996 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 1996. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 2, 1996 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 17, 1996 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 1996 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 16, 1996, as Chapter 124. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
