Where it stands
House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS
Presently if an individual turns 21 over a weekend or an extended holiday weekend, their vertical youth license expires, and they are not able to apply for their adult horizontal license until the next business day that DMV is open. Right now, their only option is to re-apply for a youth license which means they either keep the vertical youth license for another five years, or they keep it for only a few days and re-apply for the adult horizontal license, either scenario is not optimal. This bill allows for a 60-day temporary license which will see them through until they are able to receive the horizontal adult license. Vote 15-0.
