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 with changes. The committee's amendment (0642s) 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. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2009 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2009. The committee held a work session on April 14, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1337h). The committee's amendment (1337h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On May 6, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 6, 2009 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held work sessions on May 21, 2009 and May 26, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 27, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1920h). The committee's amendment (1920h) 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 voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Fuller Clark. On June 10, 2009 the House adopted “House Accedes to Sen Request for Committee of Conference (Reps Spang & Almy)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2009 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. 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 (2357) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 31, 2009, making it Chapter 303 of the session laws.
