It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 25, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 1991. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On April 9, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
