The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on January 26, 1998 and February 19, 1998. The committee met in executive session on March 19, 1998 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the Senate pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the Senate pass it with changes, by a vote of 6–2. On April 2, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 1998. The committee voted 6–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 21, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 27, 1998. On May 28, 1998 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for all deadlines”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & A Merrill. The committee met in executive session on June 9, 1998 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–6. On June 10, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
