The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1063) was adopted on a voice vote on April 5, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 5, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 11, 2007 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2007. The committee held work sessions on April 25, 2007, May 2, 2007, May 9, 2007 and May 15, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1829h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 7, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2007 the House adopted “Reconsideration (Rep Spang)” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (1829h) was adopted on a roll call 188–132 on June 7, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2377) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 341 of the session laws.
