The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1999. The committee held a work session on March 31, 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 May 13, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on May 27, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 8, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 29, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 29, 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 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”. On July 1, 1999 the Senate adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Gordon. The bill was enrolled on July 1, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
