The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2012 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2104h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2104h) 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 “Non-concur with House Amendment #2104h; Requests C of C” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles. On May 24, 2012 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Committee of Conference (Rep Bettencourt)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 25, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The House adopted the conference report (2384c) on a voice vote. The Senate adopted the conference report (2384c). 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 18, 2012, making it Chapter 239 of the session laws. It took effect on August 17, 2012.
