The Story

It was introduced on January 29, 1997 and referred to the House Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 18, 1997 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 8–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 22, 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”. 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 18, 1997, making it Chapter 218 of the session laws. It took effect on August 17, 1997.
