The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1628s). On April 18, 2012 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-7 is suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 1628s, 2/3 necessary”. The committee's amendment (1628s) 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 voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1628s(NT) (Rep Packard)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2335e) was adopted on May 16, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2335e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2012, making it Chapter 172 of the session laws.
