It was introduced on January 7, 2009 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2009. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it (amendment 0037h). The committee's amendment (0037h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 12, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On February 12, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 18, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1983s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2014s), offered by Sen. Odell, was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 10, 2009 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs w/Senate AM #1983s(NT) & #2014s(NT) & Req CofC (Rep Spang)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2366) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 15, 2009, making it Chapter 201 of the session laws.
