The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–4 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1278s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1278s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1278s (Rep Ladd)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 11, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2015, making it Chapter 172 of the session laws.
