The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0675). The committee's amendment (0675) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2003, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0905), offered by Sen. Kenney, was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 20, 2003 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 22, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Kenney Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 14, 2003, as Chapter 136. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
