The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 8–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 6, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 12, 1997 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 1997. The committee held a work session on April 2, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.

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.
