The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2022, February 22, 2022 and March 1, 2022. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0894h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0894h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 5, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 21, 2022 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/05/2022, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 5, 2022 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the beginning of Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. On May 5, 2022 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2022-1938s), offered by Sen. Hennessey, was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 (2022-2109e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor vetoed it on June 24, 2022. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 15, 2022 the House voted 256–65 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On September 15, 2022 the Senate voted 11–12 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
