The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 4, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 17, 1993 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on March 25, 1993 and April 1, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 13, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 15, 1993 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 17, 1993, making it Chapter 152 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1994.
