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 31, 2017 and February 14, 2017. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0012h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0012h) 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 with changes (amendment 2017-1362s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1362s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 18, 2017 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1362s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 2017, making it Chapter 100 of the session laws.
