The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2009. The committee held a work session on February 3, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it (amendment 0221h). The committee's amendment (0221h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 18, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On February 18, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 18, 2009 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held work sessions on March 9, 2009 and March 27, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 31, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On April 8, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1506s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 13, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On May 13, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2009 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs w/Sen AM 1506s & Requests CofC (Rep Norelli)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 15, 2009 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2360) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 15, 2009, making it Chapter 207 of the session laws.
