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 March 5, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0922s). On March 13, 2014 the Senate adopted “Recommit to Committee” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1099s). The committee's amendment (1099s) 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 roll call 13–11 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 1, 2014 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–5 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 23, 2014 the House failed “Divide Sections 4 & 5” on a roll call 124–186, on a motion by Rep. Dan McGuire. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 186–104. The bill was enrolled on May 5, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2014, making it Chapter 137 of the session laws.
