The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2017. The committee met in executive session on January 18, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 2, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 203–152. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 30, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 6, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 17, 2017, making it Chapter 9 of the session laws.
