The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Special Committee on Education Funding Reform committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 18, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 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 September 13, 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 held a work session on October 25, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2801h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2801h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 4, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 4, 2012 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2012. The committee held work sessions on January 31, 2012, February 7, 2012, February 17, 2012, February 21, 2012 and February 23, 2012. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1064h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 22–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1064h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 277–19. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1575s). The committee's amendment (1575s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 9, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1575s(NT) and Requests C of C (Rep L.Ober)” on a voice vote. On May 16, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Stiles Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 24, 2012, May 25, 2012, May 29, 2012 and May 30, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2448c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2448c) on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2504e) was adopted on June 6, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2504e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2012, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws.
