The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 20, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2008. The committee held work sessions on April 8, 2008, April 15, 2008 and April 22, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it (amendment 1605h) by a vote of 11–6. The minority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study. The committee's amendment (1605h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 188–72. On May 21, 2008 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Letourneau. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 8, 2008, making it Chapter 315 of the session laws.
