The Story

It was introduced on January 13, 2010 and referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0909s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2010 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 17, 2010 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 13, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 21, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 222–80. The bill was enrolled on May 5, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 17, 2010, making it Chapter 162 of the session laws.
