The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0179s). The committee's amendment (0179s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1333h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1333h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 23, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 1, 2014 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Concurs with House Amendment #1333h” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (1729eba) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2014. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-1729e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 22, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2014, making it Chapter 133 of the session laws.
