The Story

It was introduced on January 23, 1997 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On February 13, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 26, 1997 and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 23, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 1997. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 1997 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 20, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 28, 1997 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1997 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference”. A committee of conference met on June 2, 1997 and June 4, 1997 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 10, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report”. On June 10, 1997 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote.
