The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2026, with one person signed in online in support. The committee met in executive session on January 13, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 5, 2026 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 5, 2026 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 47(f). It crossed to the Senate on February 5, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 3–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 26, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 22, 2026, making it Chapter 37 of the session laws.
