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 21, 2018 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 2018-0365h) by a vote of 12–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0365h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
