The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2017. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0652h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0652h) 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 April 4, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1316s). The committee's amendment (2017-1316s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 18, 2017 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1316s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John T. O'Connor. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2017, making it Chapter 145 of the session laws.
