The Story

It was introduced on February 20, 1992 and referred to the House Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. On February 20, 1992 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Holden. The committee held a public hearing on February 25, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 9–4. On March 4, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 4, 1992 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for 3rd reading”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Chambers. On March 4, 1992 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 1992 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 22, 1992 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 23, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 23, 1992 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 23, 1992 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on April 29, 1992 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 6, 1992 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 6, 1992 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote.
