The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1993 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 1993. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 11, 1993 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 10, 1993 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 8, 1993. On April 8, 1993 the House adopted “Special Order to 04/13/1993” on a voice vote. On April 13, 1993 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on April 20, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 29, 1993 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 18, 1993 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 1993 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 9, 1993, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws. It took effect on June 9, 1993.
