The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 24, 2006, January 31, 2006 and February 7, 2006. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0719h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0719h) was adopted on February 15, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 231–99. On February 15, 2006 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee voted 15–4 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 22, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 196–112. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1989). The committee's amendment (1989) was adopted on a roll call 22–0 on May 3, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2117), offered by Sen. Larsen, was rejected on a voice vote on May 3, 2006. On May 3, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
