The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1999. The committee held a work session on February 18, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1, 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 Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 13, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 1999 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 17, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 25, 1999, making it Chapter 142 of the session laws. It took effect on June 25, 1999.
