The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2034s). On May 16, 2012 the Senate adopted “Special Ordered to the end of the Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2034s). The committee's amendment (2034s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-2305s), offered by Sen. Forsythe, was rejected on a voice vote on May 16, 2012. On May 16, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 17, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #2034s and Requests C of C (Rep Reagan)” 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.
