The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On January 30, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the House on February 6, 1990 and was referred to the House Children, Youth and Juvenile Justice committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 3, 1990. On April 3, 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 18, 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 240 of the session laws. It took effect on June 26, 1990.
