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 send it back to committee. On May 1, 2001 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 24, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held public hearings on March 5, 2002 and March 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–5. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Requests C of C” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on April 26, 2002 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
