The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held public hearings on February 3, 2016 and February 16, 2016. The committee held a work session on March 1, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0847h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 10–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 10, 2016 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 126–212. The committee minority's amendment (2016-0847h) 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 voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2016. An enrolled bill amendment (2016-1895e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2016. These correct technical errors found after passage. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 28, 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-1895e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2016, making it Chapter 141 of the session laws.
