The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. On February 8, 1994 the House adopted “Suspend Rules for hearing on 02/10/1994”, on a motion by Rep. A Torr. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 10, 1994 the House voted to study it after the session ends. The committee held work sessions on April 19, 1994, April 28, 1994, May 4, 1994, May 18, 1994 and May 25, 1994.
