The record is available; this account is still being prepared.

Some records are in hand, but the minimum evidence for a source-bound account has not been assembled.

Obtain and cite the enrolled act/resolution, exact chapter or journal locator, and operative text for the selected outcome. Review the complete session-law and subject indexes, not only the selected chapter or a codification table. Reconstruct every contender and the failed/vetoed/referral universe from both chamber journals and original bill files. Research implementation, appropriations, enforcement, litigation, repeal/supersession, and affected communities for the selected outcome and strongest rival to equal depth.
