The Story

It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 1991.

On March 19, 1991 the bill was referred to the Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. The committee met in executive session on October 31, 1991 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–2.
