The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 20, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 276–75. 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 24, 2013.
