The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on October 17, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 8 to 7.
