The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 5, 1998 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 5, 1998 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 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 recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–1. On May 14, 1998 the House adopted “Special Order to 1st item” on a voice vote.
