The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 17, 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 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1278). The committee's amendment (1278) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1351), offered by Sen. Larsen, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 1, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 15, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 29, 2005 the Senate adopted “Committee of Conference Report” on a voice vote. On June 29, 2005 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2138) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 22, 2005, making it Chapter 265 of the session laws. It took effect on July 22, 2005.
