The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 9–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Action Deadline” on a voice vote. On April 6, 2005 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0798) was rejected on a voice vote on April 6, 2005. A floor amendment (0925), offered by Reps Packard & Ferland, was adopted on a voice vote on April 6, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0947), offered by Rep Hinkle, was rejected on a voice vote on April 6, 2005. A floor amendment (0981), offered by Rep Kennedy, was rejected on a roll call 101–224 on April 6, 2005. On April 6, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 222–102. It crossed to the Senate on April 7, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1285). The committee's amendment (1285) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1332), offered by Sen. Letourneau, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 11, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 2, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen.Letourneau Accede to House Request For Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 15, 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 roll call 273–35. 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 (2135) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. It became law without the governor's signature on August 11, 2005, as Chapter 296. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
