The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2005. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2005 and February 22, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held public hearings on May 17, 2005 and May 24, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1758). On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Commmittee Amendment” on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2005, making it Chapter 202 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2005.
