The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Constitutional and Statutory Revision committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 11, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 11, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
