The Story

It was introduced on February 20, 2025 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a work session on March 14, 2025. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 2025, with 13 people signed in online: 3 in support, 4 in opposition and 6 as neutral. The committee held work sessions on March 18, 2025 and March 25, 2025. The committee met in executive session on April 1, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1455h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1455h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 10, 2025, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2025-1493h), offered by Rep. Thomas Kaczynski, was rejected on a roll call 136–232 on April 10, 2025. On April 10, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Capital Budget committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-2039s). On June 5, 2025 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, the Clerk is authorized to make technical and administrative corrections which are necessary to reflect the intent of the Senate”. The committee's amendment (2025-2039s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 12, 2025 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-2039s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. David Milz. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 15, 2025, making it Chapter 159 of the session laws.
