The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 1994. The committee held work sessions on February 10, 1994 and March 2, 1994. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0. On March 15, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 21, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 5, 1994 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 10, 1994 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 18, 1994 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 24, 1994 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 26, 1994 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote.
