The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 12, 2015 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On February 12, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 4, 2015 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 31, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 202–138. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on May 8, 2015. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 16, 2015 the Senate voted 13–11 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
