The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2011 and February 22, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2011 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 August 16, 2011, September 14, 2011 and October 11, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2796h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2796h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 5, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1582s). The committee's amendment (1582s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 9, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1582s (Rep Haefner)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2274e) was adopted on May 16, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2274e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2012, making it Chapter 115 of the session laws.
