The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1999 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 1999. The committee held a work session on February 17, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 14, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 29, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 11, 1999, making it Chapter 35 of the session laws. It took effect on July 10, 1999.
