The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 21, 1995 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 6, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on April 11, 1995 and was referred to the House Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 1995. The committee held a work session on April 24, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 1995 the bill was referred to the Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held work sessions on June 22, 1995, July 26, 1995, August 30, 1995 and October 17, 1995. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes, by a vote of 11–8. On January 11, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 18, 1996 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On January 25, 1996 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On May 8, 1996 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 16, 1996 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 1996 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 1996, making it Chapter 180 of the session laws. It took effect on June 3, 1996.
