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 12, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–2. On March 12, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee voted 5–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 20, 1997 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 20, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1997 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. 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 3, 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 voice vote. On June 10, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote.
