The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 27, 2007. On April 4, 2007 the House adopted “Rules Suspension: Deadline on Action for Bills Not in 2nd Comm” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0605h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 5, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 5, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 31, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2007, making it Chapter 169 of the session laws.
