The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0944h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 24, 2007 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Foster. On June 7, 2007 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Foster. The committee's amendment (1662) was rejected on a voice vote on June 7, 2007.

On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #2079s, Rep Rous” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2168) was adopted on June 13, 2007. These correct technical errors found after passage.
