The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2009. The committee held a work session on January 29, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it. On February 18, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 18, 2009 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2009. The committee held a work session on March 17, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 19, 2009 and March 23, 2009. The committee held a work session on March 31, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 31, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on November 10, 2009 and November 18, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 18, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported: Refer to Interim Study for Jan 6 CC unanimously, 19–0. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 6, 2010. On January 13, 2010 the House failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2010-0105h) was adopted on a division vote 202–100 on January 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 13, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 204–102. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 28, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 25, 2010, making it Chapter 83 of the session laws.
