The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held public hearings on February 1, 1996 and February 8, 1996. The committee held a work session on February 14, 1996. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–4. On March 7, 1996 the House voted to adopt it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 1996 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 1996. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 16, 1996 the Senate voted to adopt it on a voice vote. On April 18, 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. The governor signed it on May 15, 1996, making it Chapter 114 of the session laws.
