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 24, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0995) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2008. The committee held work sessions on April 8, 2008 and April 16, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1435h). The committee's amendment (1435h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 292–27. On May 21, 2008 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Letourneau. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2008 and May 28, 2008 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. 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 352 of the session laws.
