The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0474s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0474s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2017 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 16, 2017 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 Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 20, 2017 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 9, 2017, making it Chapter 33 of the session laws.
