It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 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 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 Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 1, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
