The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 26, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0687h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0687h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (2019-1438s), offered by Sen. Giuda, was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On April 11, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 2, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2019-1438s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. George Sykes. An enrolled bill amendment (2019-1877e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2019-1877e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 25, 2019, making it Chapter 123 of the session laws.
