It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–2. On March 16, 1994 the House adopted “Special Order to 03/17/1994”. On March 17, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 14, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Finance Executive Committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 1994. On May 12, 1994 the Senate adopted “Suspend Rules for report”, on a motion by Sen. Disnard. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 12, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 17, 1994 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 17, 1994 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 19, 1994 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
