It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 26, 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 Public Works committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 1991.
