The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0189). On January 29, 2004 the Senate adopted “Special Order to February 5, 2004”. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 5, 2004 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 15, 2004. On April 15, 2004 the House adopted “Recommitted to Education” on a voice vote. 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 April 29, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Below. The bill was enrolled on May 13, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 24, 2004, making it Chapter 160 of the session laws. It took effect on May 24, 2004.
