The Story
It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1010). On May 1, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. 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. The committee held a work session on May 31, 2001. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Eaton Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 11, 2001, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws. It took effect on July 11, 2001.
