The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 26, 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 Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 10–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 14, 1991 the House voted to pass it.
