The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0484s). The committee's amendment (2018-0484s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
