The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2007, making it Chapter 12 of the session laws.
