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 10, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1061s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1061s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On March 31, 2022 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. On March 31, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–10. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 5, 2022 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 181–148.
