The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. The committee held a public hearing on May 18, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 9, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 22, 1999 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On June 29, 1999 the House adopted “Susp Rules for C of C mtg & Rept” on a voice vote. On June 29, 1999 the Senate adopted “Senate Accedes to Req of Conference Committee” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Gordon. A committee of conference met on June 30, 1999 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On July 1, 1999 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. 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 16, 1999, making it Chapter 288 of the session laws.
