The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2003. The committee held work sessions on February 19, 2003 and March 4, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–7. On January 15, 2004 the House adopted “Special Order to Jan 22, 1st Item” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0528) was rejected on a voice vote on January 22, 2004. A floor amendment (0105), offered by Rep M Carter, was adopted on a roll call 206–147 on January 22, 2004, changing the text of the bill.
