The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 16, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 17, 1994 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 10, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 19, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 3, 1994 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 1994 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 24, 1994, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws.
