The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–6. On March 5, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 1998. On May 28, 1998 the Senate adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing without 7 days notice”, on a motion by Sen. F King. The committee held a public hearing on June 3, 1998. On June 4, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 10, 1998 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 10, 1998 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 15, 1998 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 18, 1998 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 18, 1998 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote.
