The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1032s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1032s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 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 28, 2024 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2024, with 7 people signed in online: 7 in support. The committee held a work session on April 22, 2024. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1558h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2024 the House adopted “Lay SB386 on Table” on a division vote 348–11, on a motion by Rep. Tony Caplan. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
