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 Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 1997. The committee held a work session on February 27, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 14–1. On March 12, 1997 the bill was referred to the Education committee. The committee held work sessions on April 16, 1997, April 24, 1997, April 30, 1997, June 5, 1997, June 12, 1997, June 18, 1997, July 23, 1997, August 27, 1997, September 10, 1997, September 17, 1997, September 24, 1997 and October 16, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–5. The committee held a work session on October 30, 1997. On January 7, 1998 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 January 14, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 12, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 12, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On April 16, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On June 10, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 18, 1998 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 25, 1998, making it Chapter 243 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1999.
