The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on March 9, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0130h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 15, 2011. The committee's amendment (0130h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 17, 2011. A floor amendment (2011-0878h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1560) was adopted on May 4, 2011. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2011-1560e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2011, making it Chapter 114 of the session laws.
