The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2001. On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 23–1, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 7, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 9, 2001 the Senate failed “Sen. Barnes sub-motion of Recommit”. On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 20–3 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 17–1. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 29, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 6, 2001, October 3, 2001 and October 17, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
