The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. On February 6, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On February 20, 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 Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs 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, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 23, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 1997 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 9, 1997, making it Chapter 165 of the session laws. It took effect on August 8, 1997.
