The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2019 and February 20, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2019 and March 13, 2019. 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 2019-0973h) by a vote of 12–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0973h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 254–98. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1487s). The committee's amendment (2019-1487s) was rejected on a voice vote on April 18, 2019. A floor amendment (2019-1554s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 2, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2019-1554s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Backus. An enrolled bill amendment (2019-1871e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2019. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2019-1871e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on June 3, 2019. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 18, 2019 the House voted 248–132 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
