The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0657s). On March 7, 2019 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Sen. Feltes Moved the Question”. The committee's amendment (2019-0657s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2019 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Reagan. On March 21, 2019 the Senate adopted “Reconsider SB 161: the motion to Lay on the Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Giuda. On March 21, 2019 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 21, 2019 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Feltes. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 25, 2019, having been set aside and never taken back up.
