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 February 4, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0704h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0704h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 25, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 23, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1637s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 8, 2014. The committee's amendment (1637s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2014 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2014, making it Chapter 124 of the session laws. It took effect on June 16, 2014.
