The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. The committee voted 9–4 to recommend that the House kill it. On February 22, 2006 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 98–181. On February 22, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 246–36. On February 22, 2006 the House failed “Remarks placed into Perm. Journal”, on a motion by Rep. Bettencourt. It crossed to the Senate on February 23, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On April 20, 2006 the Senate rejected a motion to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 20, 2006 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1960), offered by Sen. Letourneau, was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. On April 20, 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2301) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 9, 2006. It took effect on January 1, 2007.
