The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2012-1028h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-1175h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1869s). The committee's amendment (1869s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 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 #1869s (Rep Baldasaro)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2012, making it Chapter 127 of the session laws.
