The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 3, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 24, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote.
