The Story

It was introduced on January 27, 2005 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0703). The committee's amendment (0703) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 7, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2005. The committee voted 9–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On May 11, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 26, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen Letourneau Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
