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 12, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 18, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Resources, Recreation and Development committee. On February 15, 2012 the House adopted “Vacate from Resources, Recreation and Development and Refer to Fish and Game and Marine Resources (Rep Renzullo)” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 9, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 29, 2012, making it Chapter 107 of the session laws. It took effect on July 28, 2012.
