The Story

It was introduced on February 18, 1999 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 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 13, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
