The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1993. The majority recommended that the Senate pass it with changes, and the minority 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 Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 1993. The committee held a work session on April 8, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0. On April 22, 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 April 27, 1993. On May 11, 1993 the House adopted “Suspend Rules on deadline”, on a motion by Rep. M Hill & Trombly. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 22–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 18, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 25, 1993 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 9, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 22, 1993, as Chapter 290. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
