The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 23, 2017 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass, but its referral to the Finance committee was left pending. On February 23, 2017 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on the vote of Ought to Pass on SB 191-FN” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A floor amendment (2017-1190s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a roll call 18–5 on March 30, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2017. The committee held a work session on April 19, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 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 with changes (amendment 2017-1516h) by a vote of 15–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1516h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2017, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2017-1594h), offered by Rep. Andrew Prout, was rejected on a roll call 99–258 on May 4, 2017. On May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 247–116. On May 4, 2017 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2017. The committee held work sessions on May 10, 2017, May 16, 2017 and May 23, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on May 24, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2022h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2022h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On June 1, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 231–100. On June 8, 2017 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Reagan. On June 8, 2017 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Sherman Packard. On June 22, 2017 the Senate adopted the conference report (2017-2369c) on a roll call 15–8. On June 22, 2017 the House adopted the conference report (2369c) on a roll call 251–111. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 12, 2017, making it Chapter 229 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2017.
