It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the House State Institutions and Housing committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–3. On March 5, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 2, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
