The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Corrections and Criminal Justice committee instead. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Public Protection and Veterans Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 10, 1993. On March 10, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/11/1993”. On March 11, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/16/1993”.
