The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it 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 2019-2344s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2344s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 30, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 30, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2344s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Gourgue. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 19, 2019, making it Chapter 265 of the session laws.
