The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 30, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 3, 2003, as Chapter 92. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
