Sponsored by Sen. Steve Geller, D-Hallandale Beach, S200 remained in the Senate Transportation Committee when the session ended, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill would have authorized any vehicle, including light-duty trucks, fueled by biodiesel or natural gas to use the special lanes.
An identical House bill - HB141 - met a similar fate.
