The Story

It was introduced on February 12, 2015 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 5, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 29, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 7, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 2015, making it Chapter 118 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2016.
