It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2023. The committee voted 16–3 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 22, 2023 the House adopted “Special Order HB96” on a roll call 353–26, on a motion by Rep. John Potucek. On March 22, 2023 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 181–198. On March 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee.
