The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 20, 1999 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. On October 22, 1999 the Senate adopted “Sen Brown Suspension Of Rules For Reconsideration (2/3rds Necc)” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2165), offered by Sen Brown, was adopted on a voice vote on October 22, 1999, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on November 9, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 17–1. On January 5, 2000 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 287–43.
