The Story

The committee held a public hearing on January 7, 1992. It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the House Public Protection and Veterans Affairs committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 11, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 1992 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 31, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 16, 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 6, 1992, making it Chapter 154 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 1992.
