The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held public hearings on February 21, 2013 and February 26, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 28, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 and March 7, 2013. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0802h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–3. The committee's amendment (0802h) was adopted on a roll call 191–157 on March 20, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 190–156. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-1626s). The committee's amendment (1626s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 14–10 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 5, 2013 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1626s (Rep Borden)” on a roll call 207–131. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 15, 2013, making it Chapter 236 of the session laws.
