The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1108s). The committee's amendment (2022-1108s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2022 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2022. The committee held a work session on April 19, 2022. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2022. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2022 on a proposed non-germane amendment (1674h). The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1780h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1780h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. 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 225 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2023.
