The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2023. The committee met in executive session on January 31, 2023 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. On February 14, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1141s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1141s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2023 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2023-1141s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Aron. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2023, making it Chapter 82 of the session laws.
