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 February 10, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 18, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 24, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 492 to After Lunch, Without Objection”. On March 24, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 5, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–5, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to lay it on the table on a roll call 189–155, on a motion by Rep. Carol McGuire. The bill died on the table when the session ended on July 27, 2016, having been set aside and never taken back up.
