The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2007 and February 22, 2007. The committee recommended that the House kill it. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 6, 2007. On March 7, 2007 the House adopted “Special Order to March 21” on a voice vote. On March 21, 2007 the House adopted “Recommit to Transporation (Rep Ryan)” on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on March 21, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. 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 15, 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 2, 2008. On January 2, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 252–81.
