Dan,
That was the bill. If I recall correctly, Tom Mozden brought it to the
attention of the AZ Observing community and asked us to let the Governor
know our feelings. Rep. Giffords (Now a member of Congress) was very vocal
in her opposition to that bill and led the campaign against it. Gov
Napolitano agreed and vetoed it.
Now It seems I was at least right on the scope (no pun intended) as the link
you posted indicated that the ban was effective along the state highways.
