The Story
The committee held a public hearing on January 7, 1992. It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 12, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 1992 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 7, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 21, 1992 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 12, 1992, making it Chapter 193 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1993.
