The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2022. The committee met in executive session on January 19, 2022 and January 27, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 22–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0205h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2022-0205h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 17, 2022 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 85–249, on a motion by Rep. Graham. It crossed to the Senate on February 24, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1197s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1197s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2022 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Graham. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 24, 2022, making it Chapter 255 of the session laws.
