The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1000). The committee's amendment (1000) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1225), offered by Sen. Letourneau, was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 23, 2006 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1599h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 19, 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.
