The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 15, 2011 and February 17, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 24, 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 6, 2011 and September 13, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 18, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2716h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2716h) 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. 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 17, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2037s). The committee's amendment (2037s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-2247s), offered by Sen. Stiles, was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-2296s), offered by Sen. Kelly, 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 30, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #2037s and #2247s (Rep Balboni)” on a voice vote. 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 13, 2012, making it Chapter 203 of the session laws.
