The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1998. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 19, 1998 the Senate adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 2, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. On April 9, 1998 the House adopted “Suspend Rules change rept date to 05/14/1998”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & Burling. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 20, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 4, 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 26, 1998, making it Chapter 274 of the session laws. It took effect on August 25, 1998.
