The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee met in executive session on January 28, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 13, 2020 the House adopted “Special Order to front of regular calendar” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Cloutier. On February 13, 2020 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 2020 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2020-1275s). The committee's amendment (2020-1275s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 16, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On June 16, 2020 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote on Ought to Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Giuda. On June 16, 2020 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On June 30, 2020 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a roll call 299–17, on a motion by Rep. John Cloutier. The bill was enrolled on July 10, 2020 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 23, 2020, making it Chapter 29 of the session laws.
