The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2012 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 7, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 21, 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 April 17, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1674h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1674h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 25, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 25, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2012 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on May 8, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2161h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2161h) 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 #1674h, #2161h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature, as Chapter 199. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
