The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on January 13, 2009 and March 24, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 1, 2009 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1175s), offered by Sen. Hassan, was adopted on a voice vote on April 1, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 1, 2009 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 15, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House make no recommendation. On April 29, 2009 the House adopted “Recommit (Rep R.Williams)” on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–2 to recommend that the House kill it. On May 20, 2009 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 322–52.
