The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0495) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 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.
