The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0618s). The committee's amendment (2018-0618s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-0746s), offered by Sen. David Watters, was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 22, 2018 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 March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 3, 2018 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 9–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 12, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 180–155. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2018, making it Chapter 154 of the session laws.
