The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 22, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 08). The committee's amendment (08-0122h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1114) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2008, changing the text of the bill.
