The Story
It was introduced on February 26, 1997 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 12, 1997. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 19–1. On April 10, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 279–61. It crossed to the Senate on April 10, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 28, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 28, 1997 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1997 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 4, 1997 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 10, 1997 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a roll call 14–10. On June 10, 1997 the House failed “Suspend Rules for conf comm report”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & Burling. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. On June 18, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a roll call 293–71. The bill was enrolled on June 18, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 25, 1997, as Chapter 350. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
