The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 31, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 7, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 15, 2016, making it Chapter 15 of the session laws.
