The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0274s). On February 6, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 221 to 2/13/14, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0274s). The committee's amendment (0274s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 13, 2014. A floor amendment (2014-0509s), offered by Sen. Stiles, was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 23, 2014 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2014. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 22, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2014, making it Chapter 132 of the session laws.
