The Story

It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Commerce, Small Business and Consumer Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 9–4. 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 Commerce, Small Business and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held work sessions on October 9, 1991 and October 30, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 13–1. On January 9, 1992 the House adopted “Special Order to 01/14/1992”. On January 14, 1992 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
