The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2024 and was referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2024, with one person signed in online in support. The committee met in executive session on May 7, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 23, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2024-2319e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 19, 2024, making it Chapter 257 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2025.
