It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 5, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 26, 1991 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
