The Story

It was introduced on February 24, 2005 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0878). The committee's amendment (0878) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on April 6, 2005 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2005. The committee held a work session on April 26, 2005. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2005 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1534) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
