The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On April 1, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on April 20, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 22, 1999 the House adopted “Moved to June 23 session without objection”. On June 23, 1999 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on September 15, 1999, September 29, 1999 and October 13, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 20–1.
