The Story

The committee held a public hearing on January 7, 1992. It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, 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 Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 31, 1992 the Senate adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote.
