The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2008. The committee held a work session on February 15, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it (amendment 0658h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–8. The committee's amendment (0658h) was adopted on a division vote 170–123 on March 12, 2008, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0801h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 157–132. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 6, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1844) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 24, 2008, making it Chapter 246 of the session laws.
