The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0554). On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0803). The committee's amendment (0803) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 18, 2004 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 13, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 29, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Flanders. The bill was enrolled on May 13, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 25, 2004, making it Chapter 173 of the session laws. It took effect on May 25, 2004.
