The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 22–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0899h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0899h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 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 March 29, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1458s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1458s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
