It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules to consider on 03/19/1991”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Chambers. On March 19, 1991 the bill was referred to the Education committee.
