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 March 5, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1162s). The committee's amendment (2019-1162s) 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 Environment and Agriculture 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 committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 2, 2019. The committee met in executive session on November 7, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2740h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2740h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 8, 2020 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2020. The committee met in executive session on May 7, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
