The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 4, 1990. 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 25, 1990. On January 25, 1990 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The majority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–6.
