The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2019. The committee held work sessions on January 22, 2019 and March 8, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0931h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0931h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 19, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 19, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1651s). The committee's amendment (2019-1651s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 23, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1651s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Steven Smith. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2019, making it Chapter 77 of the session laws.
