The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0370h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1447) was adopted on a voice vote on May 10, 2007, changing the text of the bill.
