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 kill it. On March 10, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 470 to 03/17/2016, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 17, 2016 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. Sen. Soucy offered a floor amendment (2016-1094s) on March 17, 2016; it was not voted on. On March 17, 2016 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Forrester. On March 17, 2016 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen.
