The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0306s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0306s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 3, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 3, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
