The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2015 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 4, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1145s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1145s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 9, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 9, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 6, 2015 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1145s (Rep Ladd)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2015-1719EBA) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 21, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1719e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage.
