The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a work session on January 25, 2022. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0150h), and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 13–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0150h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 183–155. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1752s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1752s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2022-1866s), offered by Sen. Kevin Avard, 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 5, 2022 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2022-1866s 2022-1752s and Requests CofC (Reps. Lang, Khan, Kittredge, Egan)” on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. A committee of conference met on May 18, 2022 and May 19, 2022 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 26, 2022 the Senate adopted the conference report (2022-2076c) on a voice vote. On May 26, 2022 the House adopted the conference report (2022-2076h) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2022, making it Chapter 303 of the session laws.
