The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2011. The committee held a work session on March 1, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2012-0079h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 11, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 11, 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. On April 18, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2012, making it Chapter 67 of the session laws.
