The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 5, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 5, 1992 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 10–5. On April 7, 1992 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. On April 7, 1992 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing”, on a motion by Rep. Hager. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–5. On April 22, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 23, 1992 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 23, 1992 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote.
