The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0130h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 6, 2014. The committee's amendment (0130h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 6, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2014 and March 10, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 18, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2014 the House voted to pass it as part of its consent calendar, which it adopted on a division vote 282–9. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 22, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
