The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 28, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 19, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2197h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2197h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on January 5, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 24, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 10, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 18, 2022, making it Chapter 7 of the session laws.
