The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2017 and February 8, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 22, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0322h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2017 the House adopted “Special Order to next order of business” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Christensen. The committee's amendment (2017-0322h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 335–29. On March 9, 2017 the House adopted “Rules Suspension to refer to Finance (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. On March 9, 2017 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 10, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2017 and March 15, 2017. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 28, 2017, October 3, 2017 and October 17, 2017. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 23–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2512h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2512h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 1, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1598s). The committee's amendment (2018-1598s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 26, 2018 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its referral to the Finance committee was left pending. On April 26, 2018 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
