The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1992 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 1992. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On February 13, 1992 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on February 20, 1992 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 1992. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 7, 1992. On April 7, 1992 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 9, 1992 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 1992 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 4, 1992, making it Chapter 141 of the session laws. It took effect on May 4, 1992.
