The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2025, with 13 people signed in online: 12 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 4, 2025 and February 11, 2025. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0339h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0339h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 20, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On February 20, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1542s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1542s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 17, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 8, 2025 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-1542s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Judy Aron. The bill was enrolled on June 12, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 23, 2025, making it Chapter 109 of the session laws.
