The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2011 and February 8, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0126h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0126h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-1367s). The committee's amendment (1367s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 18, 2011 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1367s (Rep Renzullo)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2011, making it Chapter 135 of the session laws.
