The Story
It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 21, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 28, 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.
