The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held public hearings on February 6, 2014, February 13, 2014 and February 18, 2014. The committee held a work session on March 4, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0735h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-0735h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2014.
