The Story

On January 18, 2012 the bill was referred to the Public Works and Highways committee. On February 1, 2012 the House adopted “Suspend House Rules to Allow Reporting Deadline To Be Moved to March 9, 2012 (Reps Chandler and Norelli)” on a voice vote. The committee held public hearings on February 14, 2012 and February 16, 2012. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2012 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2012-0797h). The committee held a work session on February 21, 2012. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2012, March 7, 2012 and March 8, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1171h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1171h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-1238h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 15, 2012. On March 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It was introduced on April 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1613s). The committee's amendment (1613s) 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 9, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1613s (Rep Chandler)” on a roll call 308–28. An enrolled bill amendment (2352e) was adopted on May 23, 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 (2012-2352e) 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 193 of the session laws.
