The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0402s). The committee's amendment (0402s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2011 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 16, 2011 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1393h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1393h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 27, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On April 27, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 27, 2011 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 5, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1797h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1797h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 25, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 25, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
