The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Wildlife and Marine Resources committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 10–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 12, 1998 the House voted to kill it.
