The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (0712s), offered by Sen. Merrill, was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
