It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 1989 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 1989. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 21, 1989 the Senate adopted “Recommit”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes.
