The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 1999. The committee held work sessions on February 18, 1999, March 17, 1999 and March 24, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On April 22, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 8, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 22, 1999 the House adopted “Moved to June 23 session without objection”. On June 23, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on July 1, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on August 17, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On October 19, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On October 22, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On October 22, 1999 the Senate adopted “Enrolled Bill Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on November 3, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on November 10, 1999, making it Chapter 339 of the session laws. It took effect on November 10, 1999.
