The Story

It was introduced on February 22, 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. On March 29, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 19, 2001, making it Chapter 89 of the session laws. It took effect on August 18, 2001.
