The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 26, 1997 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 27, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
