The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0836s). The committee's amendment (0836s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 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 March 10, 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 12–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1223h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1223h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 28, 2016 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles.
