The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held public hearings on February 17, 2005 and February 22, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1450). The committee's amendment (1450) was rejected on a voice vote on May 26, 2005. A floor amendment (1645), offered by Sen. Bragdon, was adopted on a voice vote on May 26, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2119) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 14, 2005, making it Chapter 242 of the session laws. It took effect on September 12, 2005.
