The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0864s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0864s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on March 25, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On June 10, 2021 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2021-0864s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Renzullo. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2021, making it Chapter 94 of the session laws.
