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 27, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 4, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it 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 March 15, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 31, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2016, making it Chapter 100 of the session laws.
