The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 5, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote.
