The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0110). On February 15, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it 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 April 24, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–5. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2001 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 7, 2001 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 18, 2001 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 26, 2001 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 17, 2001, making it Chapter 294 of the session laws. It took effect on September 15, 2001.
