The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2009 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0213h). The committee's amendment (0213h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 21, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 27, 2009 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0083s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 13, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 14, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #0083s (Rep Rous)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 21, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2010, making it Chapter 9 of the session laws.
