The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0701h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0701h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 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 voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 15, 2013, making it Chapter 239 of the session laws.
