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 January 26, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0130h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0130h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-0270h), offered by Rep. Steven Smith, was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 4, 2016 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). It crossed to the Senate on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1278s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1278s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 14, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 14, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2016-1868s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 19, 2016 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1278s and 1868s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Steven Smith. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-2096e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2016, making it Chapter 260 of the session laws.
