The Story

It was introduced on February 11, 1999 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 13, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. 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. A floor amendment (1505), offered by Sen. Russman, was adopted on a voice vote on June 8, 1999, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on June 9, 1999 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held public hearings on June 23, 1999 and June 24, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on June 29, 1999. On June 29, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 29, 1999 the Senate adopted “Senate Non concurs W/ House Amendment Req Conference Committee” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Pignatelli. On June 29, 1999 the House adopted “Susp Rules for C of C mtg & Rept” on a voice vote. On June 29, 1999 the House adopted “House Acceded to Req for Conf Comm”. On July 1, 1999 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. 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 321 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2000.
