The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 30, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 30, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 6, 2003 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2003 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 6, 2003, as Chapter 41. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
