The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2015. The committee held work sessions on February 10, 2015 and March 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0757h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–10. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0757h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 222–116. 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 recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 7, 2015 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 563 to 5/14/15, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 14, 2015 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a roll call 14–10, but its third reading was left pending. On May 14, 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.
