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 with changes. On February 20, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 20, 1992 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on March 18, 1992 and March 31, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
