The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2013 and March 5, 2013. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 25, 2013, August 6, 2013, August 20, 2013, September 24, 2013, October 15, 2013, October 22, 2013 and October 29, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2377h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2377h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 22, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 22, 2014 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 160–160, on a motion by Rep. Cali-Pitts. On January 22, 2014 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 151–168, on a motion by Rep. Vaillancourt. On January 22, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 171–139. On January 22, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee, whose chair declined the referral under House Rule 46(f). It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1761s). The committee's amendment (1761s) was rejected on a roll call 8–16 on May 15, 2014. On May 15, 2014 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
