The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2013 and referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held public hearings on February 12, 2013 and February 19, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0737s). The committee's amendment (0737s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 28, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 3, 2013 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1401h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1401h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 8, 2013 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on May 28, 2013. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 23–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On June 12, 2013 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Stiles.
