The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On February 14, 1990 the House adopted “Special Order to 02/15/1990” on a division vote. On February 15, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 14, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment () was adopted on March 20, 1990, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On March 29, 1990 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 10, 1990 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference”. A committee of conference met on April 17, 1990 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On April 19, 1990 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report”. On April 19, 1990 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 19, 1990 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
