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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 1997. The committee held a work session on March 4, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 12–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 18, 1997 the bill was referred to the Commerce committee. The committee held work sessions on July 23, 1997 and August 20, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
