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 16, 2018. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2018 and February 20, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 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 2018-0326h) by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0326h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 17, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 26, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 3, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 3, 2018, making it Chapter 376 of the session laws.
