The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the House Local and Regulated Revenues committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 12–0, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 3, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 23, 1997 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (0005) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 9, 1997, making it Chapter 115 of the session laws.
