The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on October 10, 2019, October 29, 2019 and November 5, 2019. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2858h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2858h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 2020 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Vacated from Committee and Laid on Table” on a voice vote. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2020, having been set aside and never taken back up.
