The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0200s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 4, 2016. The committee's amendment (0200s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 4, 2016. A floor amendment (2016-0207s), offered by Sen. Stiles, was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 5, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 97 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2017.
