The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2170). On January 17, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on January 17, 2002 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 14, 2002. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on February 15, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on February 15, 2002, making it Chapter 4 of the session laws. It took effect on February 15, 2002.
