The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1997 and referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 1997. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On January 23, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 19, 1997 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Environment and Agriculture committee instead. The committee held a work session on April 15, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–2. On May 7, 1997 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on May 13, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 14–2. On May 20, 1997 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
