The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2005 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held public hearings on February 8, 2005 and February 15, 2005. The committee held work sessions on February 22, 2005 and March 14, 2005. 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 March 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1342). The committee's amendment (1342) was adopted on a voice vote on May 12, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 12, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it.
