The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On March 5, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1214) was adopted on a voice vote on April 10, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On April 10, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 30, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1214 (Rep Ryan)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2008, making it Chapter 140 of the session laws.
