The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2024, with 337 people signed in online: 333 in support and 4 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 20, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 19, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 28, 2024 the House failed “Lay HB1145 on Table” on a roll call 180–193, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. A floor amendment (2024-1329h), offered by Reps. Germana and Simon, was adopted on a division vote 234–125 on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 208–162. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. 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 study it after the session ends.
