The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2003. The committee held a work session on January 29, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. 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 January 7, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 29, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1111). The committee's amendment (1111) was adopted on a voice vote on April 15, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 22, 2004 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1469) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 5, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 11, 2004, making it Chapter 96 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2005.
