The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 8–6 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0131h). The committee's amendment (0131h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 24, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kelly. On May 15, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Burling. On May 15, 2008 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1940), offered by Sen. Reynolds, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1869), offered by Sen. Burling, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendments #1940 2nd NT and #1869 (Rep Ryan)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2008, making it Chapter 216 of the session laws.
