The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0727h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 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 with changes. The committee's amendment (1964) was adopted on a voice vote on June 7, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1964s, Rep Phinizy” on a voice vote.
