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. On February 10, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 10, 2000 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 14–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2000 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on March 16, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 29, 2000, making it Chapter 31 of the session laws. It took effect on May 28, 2000.
