The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 18, 2001. On April 18, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 19, end of day” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to Apr 26” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 25, end of day” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 26 without objection”. On April 26, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to May 3” on a voice vote. On May 3, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 30, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 5, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Francoeur Special Order to”. On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1492), offered by Sen. McCarley, was adopted on a roll call 16–6 on June 7, 2001, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. McCarley sub-motion Rereferred to Committee” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it.
