The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on April 30, 2015, May 19, 2015, May 26, 2015, August 27, 2015 and September 1, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2441h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2015-2441h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 6, 2016 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on January 28, 2016. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 24–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
