The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 4, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 13, 1992 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 2, 1992 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 9, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 20, 1992, making it Chapter 82 of the session laws. It took effect on June 19, 1992.
