The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0606h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. On March 15, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65; extending deadline for action to 3/22/2018 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2018-0606h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 328–8. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2018, making it Chapter 269 of the session laws.
