The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2018. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 2018 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 with changes (amendment 2018-0560h) by a vote of 15–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0560h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 182–147. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1799s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/03/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1799s). The committee's amendment (2018-1799s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-1883s), offered by Sen. Woodburn, was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 3, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 10, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1799s and 1883s” on a division vote 173–146, on a motion by Rep. Barry. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2018, making it Chapter 249 of the session laws.
