The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0131h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0131h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1880s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1880s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 23, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1880s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Steven Smith. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2019, making it Chapter 79 of the session laws.
