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 February 7, 2007. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2007, February 13, 2007 and February 16, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0253h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 10, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 24–0 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (1711) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 13, 2007, making it Chapter 127 of the session laws.
