The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 11–1. On March 17, 1993 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held work sessions on September 1, 1993 and September 16, 1993. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On January 5, 1994 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 January 25, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 10, 1994 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The Senate withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 3, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a division vote, then referred it on to the Senate Fin committee.
