The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2007. The committee held work sessions on January 25, 2007 and February 20, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0300h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 15, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1909) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Non Concurs with Senate AM, Request Comm of Conf, Rep Rous” on a voice vote. On June 14, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 18, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 319 of the session laws.
