The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held public hearings on January 26, 1995 and February 7, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 15, 1995. On February 15, 1995 the House adopted “Special Order to 02/16/1995” on a voice vote. On February 16, 1995 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote. On March 2, 1995 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Pantelakos.
