The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 1996 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 1996. The committee voted 6–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 8, 1996 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 15, 1996 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 1996. The committee held work sessions on March 26, 1996 and April 4, 1996. 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 17, 1996. On April 17, 1996 the House adopted “Special Order to 04/18/1996”. On April 18, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 9, 1996 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 1996 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 1996, making it Chapter 191 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1997.
