The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2017. The committee met in executive session on January 19, 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 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 2, 2017 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0512h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0512h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 29, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 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 12 of the session laws.
