The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held public hearings on March 26, 2009 and April 2, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1198s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 8, 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 April 9, 2009 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–3 to recommend that the House pass it. On May 6, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2009, making it Chapter 94 of the session laws.
