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 recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0008s). The committee's amendment (2017-0008s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 19, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On January 19, 2017 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 16, 2017 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 30, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 9–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 20, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 12, 2017, making it Chapter 48 of the session laws. It took effect on July 11, 2017.
