The Story

It was introduced on April 2, 1991 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes.

On May 9, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Benton. The committee held a public hearing on May 14, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0. On May 16, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for report”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Chambers.
