The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2000 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 23, 2000. On February 24, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules on Deadline” on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2000 and March 22, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 11–2. On March 30, 2000 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. On March 30, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules for deadline” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2000. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2000 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 22–0. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 10, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4540).
