The Story

It was introduced on February 20, 2013 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 7, 2013 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 September 4, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on September 11, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 23, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2370h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2370h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2014, making it Chapter 37 of the session laws. It took effect on July 26, 2014.
