The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0293h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0293h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1620s). The committee's amendment (1620s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading.
