The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0193h). The committee's amendment (0193h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 4, 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 23, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1988s) was adopted on a voice vote 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 Concurs with Senate AM #1988s (New Title) (Rep S.Harvey)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 2009, making it Chapter 86 of the session laws.
