The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
