The Story

It was introduced on February 1, 2001 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0127). On February 15, 2001 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 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 24, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Eaton Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1681) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 5, 2001, making it Chapter 196 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 2001.
