The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2015. The committee held a work session on January 29, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0139h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0139h) was adopted on a roll call 197–158 on February 18, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On February 18, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 201–154. On February 19, 2015 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral. On March 4, 2015 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1970s). On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs and Requests Committee of Conference (Rep Hinch)” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (1970s) was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on June 4, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On June 4, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 13–11 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 11, 2015 the Senate adopted “accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2015 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
