It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3105).
