The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0120s). The committee's amendment (0120s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-0402s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was rejected on a roll call 3–21 on February 4, 2016. On February 4, 2016 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 February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2016 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2016-1280h). The committee held a work session on April 26, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
