The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 1992. The committee held a work session on January 30, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 19, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 1992 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 22, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
