The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2007. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House pass it. On March 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 18, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1600) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2007 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1600 NT, Rep Kaen” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 14, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2007, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws.
