The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 4, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 12, 2009 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it (amendment 1278h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 15–3. The committee's amendment (1278h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 22, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 22, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 3, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Letourneau Concurs with House Amendment {1278h}” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 8, 2009, making it Chapter 168 of the session laws.
