The Story

It was introduced on January 21, 2016 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0614s). The committee's amendment (0614s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 3, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 3, 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. On March 24, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 12, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1333h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1333h) 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 roll call 262–83. On April 20, 2016 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 27, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 9, 2016, making it Chapter 233 of the session laws.
