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 26, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0410s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0410s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 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 February 8, 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.
