The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 4, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 4, 2009 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 28, 2009 and April 29, 2009. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1375h). The committee's amendment (1375h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On May 6, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 20, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Kelly Concurs with House Amendment {1375h}” on a voice vote.
