The Story
It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2008. The committee held a work session on February 14, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0627h), by a vote of 11–8. On March 5, 2008 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 136–160. The committee minority's amendment (0627h) was adopted on a division vote 174–118 on March 5, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2008 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 151–142. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 24, 2008, having been set aside and never taken back up.
