The Story

It was introduced on February 11, 1999 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 20, 1999 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 3, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On February 10, 2000 the Senate adopted “Remove from Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3411), offered by Sen.
