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 3, 2008. The committee held work sessions on January 17, 2008 and January 24, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 31, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0250h). The committee's amendment (0250h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 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 April 1, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 15, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sgambati. On May 15, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Fuller Clark. The committee's amendment (1748) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1923), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2008 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs and Requests Committee of Conference (Rep Spang)” on a voice vote. On May 21, 2008 the Senate adopted “Sen. Fuller Clark Accede to House Request For Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2008 and May 29, 2008 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. An enrolled bill amendment (2185) was adopted on June 4, 2008. These correct technical errors found after passage.
