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 23, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 6, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 22, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On March 29, 1990 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 10, 1990 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 13, 1990, making it Chapter 99 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 1990.
