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 January 30, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 12, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 28, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on April 2, 1991 and was referred to the House Appropriations committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 30, 1991 the House voted to pass it, 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 public hearings on May 2, 1991 and May 7, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0. On May 14, 1991 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 12, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 14, 1991, making it Chapter 280 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1991.
