The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2022. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2022 and March 1, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0727h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 15, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2022-0727h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2022, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1750s). The committee's amendment (2022-1750s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2022 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Pearl. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2022-2118e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 1, 2022, making it Chapter 300 of the session laws.
