The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 14, 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 Children, Youth and Juvenile Justice committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 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 May 14, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 21, 1991 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 1991, making it Chapter 214 of the session laws.
