The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it. 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 11, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1636), offered by Sen. Burling, was rejected on a roll call 9–14 on June 2, 2005. On June 2, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 22–1 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 2, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it.
