The Story
It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on June 4, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to kill it.
