Ozona:
Typically, here's how this thing works:
First, the transportaion committee reads the bill as a group, and decides on wording, any changes that might be need to comply with statutes, etc.
If they all agree, the bill goes to a second reading, usually in front of the committee and the originating body. (If the House sponsers the bill, they are the first reading, and vice versa if the Senate sponsers the bill).
Then, if no objections are made, the bill is put on the calendar for the full sponsoring body to review. If it is then passed by them, it goes through the same procedure with the other body.
After both groups have had a shot at it, and it passes both "houses" it them goes onto the review committe, who does a legal proceeding voodoo thing, and it is then put on the list of passed legislation for the Governor to sign.
Simple, No?
