The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 22, 2011 and March 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 9–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0539h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0539h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 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 March 31, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2011-1480e) was adopted on April 27, 2011. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1480) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 16, 2011, making it Chapter 81 of the session laws.
