The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2005 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 31, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0247) 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 Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2006. The committee held a work session on April 11, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 26, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2233) was adopted on May 16, 2006. These correct technical errors found after passage.
