The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2004.

On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2004 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 21, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
