The Story

It was introduced on March 9, 2005 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held public hearings on March 22, 2005 and March 23, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for late ref to 2nd Comm” on a voice vote. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Report & Action Deadlines” on a voice vote. The committee held public hearings on April 4, 2005 and April 5, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 23–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On April 13, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 14, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 11, 2005. On June 8, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. The committee's amendment (1762) was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2005, June 21, 2005 and June 22, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 29, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 29, 2005 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2129) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 18, 2005, making it Chapter 259 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2005.
