The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 22, 2018 the House adopted “Special Order to 3/8/2018” on a division vote 264–72, on a motion by Rep. Josephson. On March 6, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. On March 15, 2018 the House adopted “Special Order to next order of business” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Josephson. On March 15, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 275–46. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2018, making it Chapter 268 of the session laws.
