The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2016. The committee met in executive session on January 28, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 2, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0406h) by a vote of 7–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 11, 2016 the House adopted “Special Order to next order of business” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Bates. On February 11, 2016 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 92–211, on a motion by Rep. Heffron. The committee's amendment (2016-0406h) was adopted on a roll call 181–127 on February 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 192–117. On February 11, 2016 the bill was referred to the Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2016 and March 17, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1093h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1093h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 23, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 21, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2016, making it Chapter 77 of the session laws.
