The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–2. On March 3, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 1992 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 21, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 22, 1992 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 22, 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.
