The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0516s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0516s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 20, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Resources, Recreation and Development committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2025, with 3 people signed in online: 1 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 1, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 1, 2025 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 20, 2025, with one person signed in online in opposition. The committee met in executive session on May 20, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
