The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2012. The committee met in executive session on January 24, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 1, 2012. A floor amendment (2012-0409h) 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 on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 15, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 22, 2012, making it Chapter 7 of the session laws.
