The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0474h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0474h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 225–130. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 7, 2015. On May 7, 2015 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2015, having been set aside and never taken back up.
