The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 1998. The committee voted 3–1 to recommend that the Senate kill 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 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 a work session on May 13, 1998. On May 14, 1998 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for deadline to 05/28/1998”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & Burling. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 28, 1998. On May 28, 1998 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. On May 28, 1998 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for all deadlines”, on a motion by Rep. Wheeler & A Merrill. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 10, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 10, 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 383 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1998.
