The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1398s). The committee's amendment (1398s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2012 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 29, 2012 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 17, 2012 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
