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 March 9, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0113). The committee's amendment (0113) was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 18, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1559h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 12, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Letourneau Concur with House Amendment” 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 June 5, 2006, making it Chapter 255 of the session laws.
