The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2016. The committee held a work session on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0601h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0601h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2016. An enrolled bill amendment (2016-1443e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 6, 2016. These correct technical errors found after passage. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 1116 to the End of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. On April 7, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 20, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-1443e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 28, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 2, 2016, making it Chapter 31 of the session laws.
