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 12, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 27, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2014. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 216–60. 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 148 of the session laws.
