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 with changes (amendment 2012-0819s). The committee's amendment (0819s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 17–6 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 8, 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, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2193h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2193h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-2260h) 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 division vote 245–68. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Stiles Concurs with House Amendment #2193h, #2260h” 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 221 of the session laws.
