The Story

It was introduced on February 18, 1999 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 1999. On May 20, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 12–10 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on May 25, 1999 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 15, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–6. On June 22, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 29, 1999 the Senate adopted “Request Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. 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 a voice vote. 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. Wheeler. 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 330 of the session laws. It took effect on July 16, 1999.
