The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1997 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 6, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 19, 1997 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 11–3. On April 23, 1997 the bill was referred to the Commerce committee. The committee held work sessions on August 21, 1997 and October 21, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, 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. On May 21, 1998 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes 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 24, 1998, making it Chapter 231 of the session laws. It took effect on August 23, 1998.
