The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0063). On February 1, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 19, 2001, making it Chapter 87 of the session laws. It took effect on August 18, 2001.
