The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2004. The committee held work sessions on February 11, 2004, February 18, 2004 and March 2, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On March 17, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1226). The committee's amendment (1226) was adopted on a voice vote on April 22, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On April 22, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 22, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 6, 2004 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate adopted “Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference”, on a motion by Sen. O'Hearn. A committee of conference met on May 13, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 25, 2004 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 25, 2004 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2004, making it Chapter 205 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2004.
