It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 1990.

On January 25, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 30, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 22, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes.
