The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 30, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 20, 1998 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 1998 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 1998, making it Chapter 174 of the session laws.
