The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 26, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 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 majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 20, 1998 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 1998 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 1998, making it Chapter 160 of the session laws. It took effect on June 8, 1998.
