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 February 8, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0592s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0592s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 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 17, 2022 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (1896h), offered by Rep. Oxenham, was rejected on a roll call 158–176 on May 5, 2022. On May 5, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 224–111. 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 7, 2022, making it Chapter 176 of the session laws.
