The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1999. The committee held work sessions on March 16, 1999 and March 23, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1) unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 22–1. On May 13, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 27, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 8, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On July 1, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1944), offered by Sen.
