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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 1997. The committee held a work session on March 6, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0. On March 18, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 1997. The committee voted 4–3 to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 13, 1997 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 28, 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 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 voice vote. On June 10, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report”. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 23, 1997, making it Chapter 339 of the session laws. It took effect on July 23, 1997.
