The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2019 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 14–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 14, 2019 the House adopted “Recommit” on a division vote 209–132, on a motion by Rep. George Sykes. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it 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. On April 11, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2019, making it Chapter 106 of the session laws.
