It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 3, 1990 the Senate voted to lay it on the table. On April 10, 1990 the Senate adopted “Take from Table”.
