The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1997. The committee met in executive session on March 24, 1997 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 4–3 to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a public hearing on October 14, 1997. The committee voted 6–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 12, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
