It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0135h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0135h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On February 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1346s). The committee's amendment (1346s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1346s (Rep C.
