It was introduced on January 5, 1994 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 1994. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 10, 1994 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 17, 1994 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 1994. The committee held work sessions on April 19, 1994, April 21, 1994 and April 26, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 5, 1994 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 17, 1994 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote.
