The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2010. The committee held work sessions on February 2, 2010 and February 11, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0764h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0764h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2010.
