The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0656s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0656s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 22, 2018 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 March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2018. The committee held work sessions on March 27, 2018 and April 17, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2018 to vote on its recommendation.
