The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–4 to recommend that the House pass it. A floor amendment (0577h) was rejected on a division vote 165–187 on March 13, 2013. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 292–65. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 2, 2013, making it Chapter 192 of the session laws.
