The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 22, 2011, September 6, 2011, September 13, 2011, September 20, 2011, October 4, 2011, October 11, 2011 and October 18, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 18, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2755h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 5, 2012 the House adopted “Special Order to 3:00 PM (Rep Balboni)” on a division vote 306–29. The committee's amendment (2755h) was adopted on a roll call 208–109 on January 5, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 214–110. 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 kill it. On April 11, 2012 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
