The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0480s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0480s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2015 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 11, 2015 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1276h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1276h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 29, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 29, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 7, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Stiles Concurs with House Amendment #1276h” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2015-1737EBA) was adopted on a voice vote on May 19, 2015. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2015-1737e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2015, making it Chapter 155 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 2015.
