The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 4, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 3, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1475). The committee's amendment (1475) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 9, 2003, as Chapter 119. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
