The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 1999. The committee held work sessions on March 24, 1999, March 30, 1999 and April 7, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–1. On April 29, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 29, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 25, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 23, 1999 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On June 24, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 29, 1999 the House adopted “Susp Rules for C of C mtg & Rept” on a voice vote.
