The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House make no recommendation on a tied vote, 9–9, which carries no majority. On March 17, 2004 the House voted to pass it 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 1214). The committee's amendment (1214) 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.
