Referred to the Senate Natural Resources & Environmental Affairs Committee on March 17, 2009

With the recommendation that the substitute (S-6) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered in the Senate on November 12, 2009
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that makes the voluntary registration surcharge an "opt-in," rather than an "opt-out."
