It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2015. The committee held a work session on January 28, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0606h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0606h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2015.
