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 28, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On February 12, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 18, 1998 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1998 the House voted to pass it, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on April 1, 1998. 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 work sessions on April 14, 1998 and April 22, 1998. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee instead. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends by a vote of 9–6. On May 20, 1998 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on October 20, 1998. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 15 to 0.
