The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0168s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0168s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 6, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 19, 2014 and was referred to the House Transportation committee.
