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 29, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1095s). The committee's amendment (1095) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2014, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2014-1177s), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 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 April 1, 2014 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2014. The committee held a work session on April 29, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2014 and May 6, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1603h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1603h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 15, 2014 the House adopted “Rep. Almy moved to accede to request for C of C” on a voice vote. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Prescott. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2014 and May 29, 2014 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The House adopted the conference report (1989c) on a voice vote. The Senate adopted the conference report (1989c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 4, 2014, making it Chapter 330 of the session laws. It took effect on October 3, 2014.
