The Story

On January 29, 1997 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for intro on legis signed off after 01/17/1997”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & Burling. It was introduced on January 29, 1997 and referred to the House Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1997. The committee held a work session on February 21, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–3. On March 12, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 2, 1997 the bill was referred to the Judiciary and Family Law committee. The committee held work sessions on May 21, 1997, September 10, 1997, September 18, 1997, October 1, 1997, October 15, 1997 and October 29, 1997.
