The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it 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 roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading.
