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 2019-0663s). The committee's amendment (2019-0663s) 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 pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1715h) by a vote of 15–3, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1715h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 8, 2019 the bill was referred to the Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 21, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 28, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2245h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2245h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 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. It became law without the governor's signature on August 3, 2019, as Chapter 318. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
