On February 14, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to After Energy and Natural Resources, Without Objection”. A floor amendment (2019-0411s), offered by Sen. French, was rejected on a roll call 10–13 on February 14, 2019. On February 14, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.

The committee held a work session on April 10, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2019 to vote on its recommendation.
