The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0529s). The committee's amendment (0529s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 19, 2014. A floor amendment (2014-0530s), offered by Sen. Gilmour, was adopted on a voice vote on February 19, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 19, 2014 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 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 and April 30, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1602h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1602h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 22, 2014 the Senate adopted “Sen. Rausch Concurs with House Amendments #1602h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 28, 2014, making it Chapter 282 of the session laws. It took effect on July 28, 2014.
