The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2024, with 4 people signed in online: 4 in support. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0612h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0612h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 200–166. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
