The Story

It was introduced on December 1, 2004 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2005. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–5. On January 26, 2005 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 1105). The committee's amendment (1105) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2005, changing the text of the bill.
