The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 29, 2003 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on January 7, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On January 22, 2004 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
