The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2017. The committee held a public hearing on February 28, 2017 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2017-0539h). The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0539h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0539h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2017, making it Chapter 74 of the session laws.
