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 20, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–3. On March 3, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–5. On April 8, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 04/13/1993” on a voice vote. On April 13, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 15, 1993 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 10, 1993, as Chapter 229. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
