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 January 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1309s). The committee's amendment (1309s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-1440s), offered by Sen. Odell, 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 Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study for May 9 by a vote of 13–2. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. On May 9, 2012 the House adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on June 19, 2012 and October 17, 2012. The committee met in executive session on October 31, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Legislation in 2013”, by a vote of 10 to 0.
