The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0217). On January 29, 2004 the Senate adopted “Special Order to February 5, 2004”. The committee's amendment (0217) was adopted on a voice vote on February 5, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 5, 2004 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2004. The committee held a work session on March 3, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 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. Kenney. 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 174 of the session laws. It took effect on July 24, 2004.
