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 February 12, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 19, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 16, 2014. On April 16, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 16, 2014 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held public hearings on April 29, 2014 and May 6, 2014. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported: Refer to Interim Study by a vote of 10–8. On May 14, 2014 the House adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. On May 14, 2014 the House adopted “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Shurtleff. On May 14, 2014 the House failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a roll call 136–181. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 227–93. The bill was enrolled on May 22, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
