The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the House Regulated Revenues committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0. On March 5, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 18–3. On April 2, 1991 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 9, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 28, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1991 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1991 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 11, 1991 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 12, 1991 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature, as Chapter 349. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
