The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0. On February 18, 1998 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 7, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 28, 1998 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 4, 1998 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 10, 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”.
