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 5, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0653s). The committee's amendment (2019-0653s) 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 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2019 and May 8, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1743h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1743h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Fuller Clark. 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 12, 2019, making it Chapter 238 of the session laws. It took effect on July 12, 2019.
