The Story

It was introduced on January 29, 2004 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0430). The committee's amendment (0430) was adopted on a voice vote on February 19, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On February 19, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 19, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 19, 2004 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 10, 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. Kenney. The bill was enrolled on May 13, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1567) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
