The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2017.

The committee held work sessions on May 17, 2017, August 23, 2017, September 6, 2017 and September 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on October 18, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2456h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2456h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
