The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 6, 1990. On February 6, 1990 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Development, Recreation and Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 29, 1990 the Senate voted to lay it on the table.
