The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0938h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0938h) 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 voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. An enrolled bill amendment (2019-1636e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2019. These correct technical errors found after passage. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2019-1636e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 15, 2019, making it Chapter 30 of the session laws.
