The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0283s). The committee's amendment (2017-0283s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2017 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 16, 2017 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2017. The committee held a work session on March 22, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 28, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–4 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 20, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2017-1564e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017-1564e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2017, making it Chapter 83 of the session laws. It took effect on June 2, 2017.
