The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 1, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 21, 2014, making it Chapter 240 of the session laws.
