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.

On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on February 19, 2002.

It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3235). On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3323), offered by Sen.
