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 January 22, 2009. The committee's amendment (0091s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 12, 2009 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 30, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 13, 2009 and May 27, 2009. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1709h). The committee's amendment (1709h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 10, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Fuller Clark Concurs with House Amendment {1709h}” on a voice vote.
