The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 4, 2007 the House adopted “Rules Suspension: Deadline on Action for Bills Not in 2nd Comm” on a voice vote. On April 5, 2007 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a division vote 161–91. On April 5, 2007 the House adopted “(Rep Ryan) Recommit” on a division vote 184–70. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on April 24, 2007 and May 1, 2007. The committee met in executive session on October 23, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
