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 2014-0162s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0162s) 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 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1271h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1271h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 16, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 16, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 16, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1578h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
