The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment () was adopted on January 16, 1990, changing the text of the bill. On January 16, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the House on January 18, 1990 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 27, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. On March 27, 1990 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Kidder. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 20–0. On April 10, 1990 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 12, 1990 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On April 12, 1990 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. 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 House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On April 19, 1990 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report”. An enrolled bill amendment () was adopted on April 19, 1990. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 19, 1990 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 28, 1990, making it Chapter 272 of the session laws.
