The Story

It was introduced on January 29, 1997 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 28, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 13–3, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 12, 1997 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held work sessions on April 3, 1997, April 28, 1997, May 7, 1997, July 22, 1997 and September 16, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes as part of its consent calendar, which it adopted on a roll call 248–8. It crossed to the Senate on January 29, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On April 9, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 23, 1998 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 5, 1998, making it Chapter 39 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1999.
