The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 29, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 13, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2471h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2015-2471h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 5, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 May 27, 2016, making it Chapter 129 of the session laws.
