The Story

It was introduced on March 6, 2007 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 19, 2007. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 26, 2007. The committee met in executive session on April 2, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1178h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 11, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 283–73. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1781) was adopted on a voice vote on June 6, 2007, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2094), offered by Sen. Clegg, was rejected on a roll call 12–12 on June 6, 2007. A floor amendment (2062), offered by Sen. Hassan, was adopted on a voice vote on June 6, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 6, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 20–4 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Non Concurs with Senate AM, Request Comm of Conf, Rep Bouchard” on a voice vote. On June 14, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Hassan Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 19, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2375) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 5, 2007, making it Chapter 264 of the session laws.
