The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2014. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2014 and February 18, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 12, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 191–99. 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 March 25, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2014, making it Chapter 61 of the session laws. It took effect on July 26, 2014.
