The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0226s). On February 14, 2013 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-7 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 0226s, 2/3 necessary”. The committee's amendment (0226s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2013 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. On April 3, 2013 the bill was referred to the Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 8, 2013 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 21, 2013. The committee met in executive session on May 28, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
