The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 16, 2013, making it Chapter 29 of the session laws.
