The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 21, 2013. On March 21, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 3, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 9, 2013, making it Chapter 15 of the session laws.
