The Story

On January 29, 1997 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for intro on legis signed off after 01/17/1997”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & Burling. It was introduced on January 29, 1997 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 1997. The committee held work sessions on February 27, 1997, March 4, 1997, March 6, 1997 and March 11, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On March 18, 1997 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/19/1997”. On March 19, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held public hearings on April 10, 1997 and April 17, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 24, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 30, 1997 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. 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 119 of the session laws. It took effect on August 8, 1997.
