The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held public hearings on January 30, 2013 and February 7, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0561h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0561h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 10, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 2, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 4, 2013, making it Chapter 42 of the session laws.
