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 14, 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 Regulated Revenues committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 9, 1991. On May 9, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 28, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 29, 1991 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1991 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 12, 1991 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 12, 1991 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
