The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 6, 2000. The committee held a work session on January 25, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 25–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2000 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4506). On May 18, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on May 31, 2000. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On June 27, 2000 the House voted 132–209 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
