The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0576h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0576h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2023-1321s), offered by Sen. Kevin Avard, was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On April 13, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 15, 2023 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2023-1321” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Vose. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 4, 2023, making it Chapter 182 of the session laws.
