The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3491). On March 9, 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 March 9, 2000 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 25, 2000 and May 3, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 23, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Gordon Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 261 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
