The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2005. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–9. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 176–162. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1723). On June 9, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0261) was rejected on a roll call 8–14 on January 18, 2006. On January 18, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 17–5 and ordered it to a third reading. On January 18, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On February 9, 2006 the Senate adopted “Enrolled Bill Amendment” on a voice vote. On February 22, 2006 the House adopted “Enrolled Bill Amendment” on a voice vote.
