The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1999 and referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 29, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 29, 1999 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 11, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on June 9, 1999. On June 9, 1999 the House voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 12–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
