The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 29, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 29, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 26, 1999 the Senate adopted “Special Order, Committee Report, Ought to Pass, 5/27/99”. On May 27, 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 lay it on the table on a voice vote. On June 22, 1999 the Senate adopted “Reomve From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Francoeur. A floor amendment (1527), offered by Sen. Francoeur, was adopted on a voice vote on June 22, 1999, changing the text of the bill. On June 23, 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 Req Conference Committee” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Trombly. 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”. On July 1, 1999 the Senate adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Trombly. 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 292 of the session laws. It took effect on September 14, 1999.
