The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2003. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. On March 12, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 21, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. On April 10, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 17, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 7, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1657). The committee's amendment (1657) was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 5, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Clegg Rules Suspension for 3rd Reading and Final Passage” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. O'Hearn Accede to House Request For Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 13, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 18, 2003, making it Chapter 296 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2003.
