The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0567s). Part of the committee's amendment (2021-0567s) was rejected on a roll call 10–14. Part of the committee's amendment (2021-0567s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 25, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee met in executive session on May 4, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
