The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2010. The committee held a work session on January 28, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0419h). The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 10, 2010. On February 10, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Regular Place in Feb 17 Consent Calendar”. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 17, 2010. On February 17, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Next Session Day Beginning of Calendar”. The committee's amendment (0419h) was rejected on a roll call 129–205 on March 3, 2010. On March 3, 2010 the House adopted “Lay on the Table (Rep Eaton)” on a voice vote. On March 24, 2010 the House adopted “Remove from the Table (Rep Rous)” on a division vote 219–140. A floor amendment (1090h) was adopted on a division vote 225–128 on March 24, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 234–116. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1360s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM 1360s (Rep Rous)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2079) was adopted on May 13, 2010. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2079) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 14, 2010, making it Chapter 138 of the session laws.
