The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2007 and referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0704) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1579h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Fuller Clark Concur with House Amendment{1579}” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007.
