The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0649h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0649h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 12, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1393s). The committee's amendment (1393s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 11, 2016 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1393s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Steven Smith. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 2016, making it Chapter 164 of the session laws.
