The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2016. The committee met in executive session on January 26, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–8 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2016-0414h), offered by Rep. Rick Ladd, was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 1, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0810s). On March 10, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0810s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. On March 10, 2016 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on Ought to Pass” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 5, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 19, 2016 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1810s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 2016, making it Chapter 236 of the session laws.
