It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1991 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 25, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
