The Story

It was introduced on February 20, 2003 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 29, 2003. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. O'Hearn Non Concur With House Amendment Requests Committee Of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm”. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee 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 306 of the session laws. It took effect on September 16, 2003.
