The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 15, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1979h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1979h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. David Watters. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 19, 2019, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws. It took effect on September 17, 2019.
