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 February 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0183h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0183h) 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 8, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 7, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2015, making it Chapter 89 of the session laws.
