The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 17, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 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 April 27, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On June 2, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. A floor amendment (1598), offered by Sen. Estabrook, was adopted on a voice vote on June 2, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On June 2, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 13–10 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 2, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 16, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Morse Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
