The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–7. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3142). On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 25, 2002 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2002, making it Chapter 188 of the session laws. It took effect on May 15, 2002.
