The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0401h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0401h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 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 June 4, 2013, making it Chapter 45 of the session laws.
