The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 19, 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 7, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 9, 1992 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 16, 1992 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On May 6, 1992 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 6, 1992 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 13, 1992, making it Chapter 244 of the session laws. It took effect on July 12, 1992.
