The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. On February 11, 1999 the Senate adopted “Health and Human Services Committee.” on a voice vote. 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 send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 29, 1999 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 6, 1999 the Senate adopted “Sen. K. Wheeler Remove From Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1103), offered by Sen. K Wheeler, was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 1999, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 18, 1999. The committee held work sessions on June 2, 1999 and June 10, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
