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 4, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0197s). The committee's amendment (0197s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On February 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 4, 2015 and was referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 26, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2015, making it Chapter 38 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2015.
