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 Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on April 5, 1994 and April 26, 1994. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–1. On April 28, 1994 the House adopted “Suspend Rules to consider”, on a motion by Rep. A Torr & Trombly.
