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 20, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0261) 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 Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 8, 2007 and May 22, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 23, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1786h) 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.
