The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 1999. The committee held a work session on March 2, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 1999 the House voted to pass it. 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 May 18, 1999 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On June 8, 1999 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On June 8, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1309), offered by Sen. Cohen, was adopted on a voice vote on June 8, 1999, changing the text of the bill. On June 16, 1999 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 23, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
