The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2016 and February 16, 2016. The committee voted 13–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0418h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0418h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 175–112. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 21, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2016, making it Chapter 78 of the session laws.
