The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0094h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0094h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2011.
