The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2006. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 9, 2006 the House rejected a motion to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. On March 9, 2006 the House adopted “Flr AM” on a voice vote. On March 9, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2071). The committee's amendment (2071) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 11, 2006 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2006, making it Chapter 201 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2007.
