The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 18, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Regina Birdsell. On May 23, 2018 the Senate adopted “suspend all rules necessary to permit the consideration of HB 1546; 2/3 necessary” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 23, 2018 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. A floor amendment (2018-2087s), offered by Sen. Daniel Innis, was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 23, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2087s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Cushing. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2018, making it Chapter 117 of the session laws.
