The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2011 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 9, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the House Special Committee on Education Funding Reform committee. The committee held a work session on April 20, 2011. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2011. The committee held work sessions on May 12, 2011 and May 16, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 19, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1982h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1982h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On June 1, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 260–110. On June 8, 2011 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles. On June 8, 2011 the House adopted “House Refuses to Accede to Senate Request for C of C (Rep L.Ober)” on a voice vote.
