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 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 27, 2007 the House adopted “(Rep Phinizy) Special Order to March 28, 1st Bill on Calendar” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0514h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 18, 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 (1960) was rejected on a voice vote on June 7, 2007. A floor amendment (2100), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a roll call 17–7 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 #2100s (New Title), Rep Phinizy” 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 July 5, 2007, making it Chapter 287 of the session laws.
