The Story

It was introduced on February 16, 1999 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 1999. The committee held a work session on March 23, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 22–1. On June 16, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on June 29, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. On July 1, 1999 the Senate adopted “Sen Klemm Moved Susp of Rules to Allow Comm Report not in Calendar (2/3rds Necc)” on a voice vote. On July 1, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 298 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1999.
