The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 11, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1196h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 6, 2016. The committee's amendment (2016-1196h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-1241h), offered by Rep. Rick Ladd, was adopted on a voice vote on April 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 6, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 14, 2016 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Reagan. The bill was enrolled on April 28, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 5, 2016, making it Chapter 56 of the session laws. It took effect on July 4, 2016.
