The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 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 1, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1211s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 7, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On April 7, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 19, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1211s (Rep M.O'Brien)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2010, making it Chapter 216 of the session laws.
