The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the House Public Works committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 14–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 1991 the bill was referred to the Public Works committee. The committee held a work session on September 17, 1991. The committee met in executive session on October 23, 1991 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–3 to recommend that the House pass it. On January 8, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 30, 1992 the House voted to pass it.
