The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 4, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 25, 1999 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 1999. The committee held a work session on May 26, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 22, 1999 the House voted to pass it.
