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 a work session on February 1, 2022. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 236–105. The committee held work sessions on March 18, 2022 and March 21, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 22–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1156), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1156h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 5, 2022 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2022-1954s), offered by Sen. Hennessey, 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. The governor signed it on June 17, 2022, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws.
