The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3379). On February 17, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 24, 2000 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2000 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on March 23, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 23, 2000, making it Chapter 19 of the session laws. It took effect on March 23, 2000.
