The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 5, 1991 the Senate adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 21, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 26, 1991 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 14, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 16, 1991 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 1991, making it Chapter 213 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1992.
