The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1990 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 1990. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–2. On January 25, 1990 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Appropriations committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 1990. 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 14, 1990 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 1990 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 1990. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment () was rejected on March 27, 1990. A floor amendment () was adopted on March 27, 1990, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 1990 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On April 10, 1990 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 12, 1990 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference”. A committee of conference met on April 16, 1990 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On April 19, 1990 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report”. On April 19, 1990 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment () was adopted on April 19, 1990. These correct technical errors found after passage.
