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 28, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0408s). The committee's amendment (0408s) 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 10, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–8 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 30, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 214–107. On April 30, 2014 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a division vote. On April 30, 2014 the House failed “Reconsideration Third Reading (Rep Lambert)” on a roll call 133–202. An enrolled bill amendment (1806e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2014. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-1806e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 143 of the session laws.
