The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 1991 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 26, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 28, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on April 2, 1991 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 9, 1991 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held work sessions on September 18, 1991 and September 25, 1991. The committee held public hearings on October 3, 1991, October 17, 1991 and October 23, 1991. The committee met in executive session on October 24, 1991 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on October 30, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0. On January 9, 1992 the House adopted “Special Order to 01/14/1992”. On January 14, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 4, 1992 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on February 11, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature, as Chapter 5. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
