On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 25, 2003 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0. On May 8, 2003 the House 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 May 28, 2003, as Chapter 72. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
