The Story

It was introduced on January 27, 2005 and referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0723). The committee's amendment (0723) was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on March 24, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0910), offered by Sen. Johnson, was adopted on a roll call 15–9 on March 24, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 18, 2005, September 8, 2005, September 29, 2005, October 6, 2005 and October 20, 2005. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2005 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–5 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal for Jan 18 Without Objection”. On January 18, 2006 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 144–195. On January 18, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
