The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment () was adopted on January 18, 1990, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On January 18, 1990 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 1, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 14, 1990 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 27, 1990. On March 27, 1990 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, 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 with changes by a vote of 13–6. On April 10, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes 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”. 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 27, 1990, making it Chapter 238 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1990.
