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 25, 1997. The committee held a work session on February 27, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 12, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 5, 1997, making it Chapter 39 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1998.
