The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0096s). The committee's amendment (0096s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 3, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 3, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 7, 2011 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2011. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 13, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 20, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 28, 2011, making it Chapter 26 of the session laws.
