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 12, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1163s). The committee's amendment (2019-1163s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 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 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 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 15, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
