The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 4, 2007 the House adopted “Rules Suspension: Deadline on Action on Bills Not in 2nd Comm” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0818h) 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 18, 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. An enrolled bill amendment (2141) was adopted on June 13, 2007. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 21, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2141) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 5, 2007, making it Chapter 283 of the session laws.
