The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0406s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0406s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2023 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 pass it. On February 22, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2023. The committee held a work session on April 17, 2023. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House make no recommendation. On May 4, 2023 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a roll call 186–186. On May 4, 2023 the House adopted “Lay SB69 on Table” on a division vote 190–181, on a motion by Rep. Lucy Weber. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
