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 19, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 27, 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 Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2019, making it Chapter 86 of the session laws. It took effect on August 17, 2019.
