The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2012. The committee met in executive session on January 24, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0308h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0308h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 250–88. It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1838s). On May 2, 2012 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 5–19, on a motion by Sen. Kelly. The committee's amendment (1838s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 19–5 and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1838s and Requests C of C (Rep Balboni)” on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles. A committee of conference met on May 30, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2438c) on a roll call 18–5. The House adopted the conference report (2438c) on a roll call 217–82. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2012, making it Chapter 260 of the session laws.
