The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2024, with 6 people signed in online: 4 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–6 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0349h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee's amendment (2024-0349h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 221–157. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to Beginning of Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 3, 2024, making it Chapter 108 of the session laws.
