It was introduced on January 6, 1993 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1993.

On March 3, 1993 the bill was referred to the Education committee. The committee held work sessions on June 24, 1993, September 8, 1993, September 16, 1993 and October 27, 1993.
