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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 27, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0. 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 13, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 1997, making it Chapter 92 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1998.
