The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 1989 and referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 1989. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 14, 1989 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the House on March 2, 1989 and was referred to the House Public Works committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1989. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On April 20, 1989 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 25, 1989 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 1989 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. On May 23, 1989 the Senate voted on overriding the governor's veto, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
