The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 9, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0635s). The committee's amendment (2023-0635s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2023 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 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee met in executive session on April 12, 2023 to vote on its recommendation.
