The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 6, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 13, 1992 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 23, 1992 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 12, 1992, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws.
