The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0728s). The committee's amendment (0728s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 12, 2015 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held public hearings on March 24, 2015 and March 31, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 7, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
