The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 3, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 17, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 18, 2010 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 13, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1255h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1255h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 21, 2010 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on April 27, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 28, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 5, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “Sen. Letourneau Concurs with House Amendment 1255h” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2250) was adopted on May 19, 2010. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2250) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 20, 2010, making it Chapter 353 of the session laws.
