The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0110s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0110s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2013 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on May 14, 2013 to vote on its recommendation.
