The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 10, 2010. On February 10, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Regular Place in Feb 17 Consent Calendar”. On February 17, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 14, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 28, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2010, making it Chapter 80 of the session laws.
