The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1999 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 18, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 30, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 5, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 24, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on July 1, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 6, 1999, making it Chapter 195 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2000.
