The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held public hearings on February 7, 2012 and March 6, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1363s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 28, 2012. The committee's amendment (1363s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2012 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2142h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2142h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Stiles Concurs with House Amendment #2142h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2012, making it Chapter 185 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2012.
