It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Children, Youth and Juvenile Justice committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 1990 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 29, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes.
