The Story

It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 10–6. On March 19, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules to consider on 03/19/1991”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Chambers. On March 19, 1991 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 30, 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 agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 11, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
