The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0099h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0099h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
