The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means 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, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 28, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on April 2, 1991 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On April 30, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. On April 30, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Gross, Chambers & Hager. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–3. On May 16, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 21, 1991 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 11, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature, as Chapter 279. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
