The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0279h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0279h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Education and Workforce Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1451s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1451s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 2, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2019-1451s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. David Luneau. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2019, making it Chapter 46 of the session laws.
