The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2026, with 5 people signed in online: 5 in support. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 19, 2026 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 16, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2026-1994e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2026, making it Chapter 155 of the session laws.
